Subject: [PATCH v2 sched_ext/for-7.3 08/36] sched_ext: Make scx_bpf_kick_cid() return void
Date: Sun,  5 Jul 2026 15:40:30 -1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706014058.439853-9-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260706014058.439853-1-tj@kernel.org>

scx_bpf_kick_cid() returned an error code, but the value conveys nothing
actionable and no caller consumes it. The kick is asynchronous, so a
successful return only means it was queued. An invalid @cid is already
reported through scx_error() by scx_cid_to_cpu(), and a missing scheduler
leaves nothing to kick.

Make scx_bpf_kick_cid() return void to match scx_bpf_kick_cpu(). The
cid-form kfuncs are not in practical use yet, so the ABI change is safe.
