Hello,

v3: - The initial set_cmask() is delivered before set_weight() so that the
      mask is in place when weight-dependent state is derived (Andrea Righi).
    - Added a selftest checking the cmask enable() receives, the set_cmask()
      that follows it and their ordering (Andrea Righi).

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/2f0eb5c762d55edba5365f1006dbb395@kernel.org
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/c8343c2e457508a6cd3fcab66b0823b6@kernel.org

A cid-form scheduler has no p->cpus_ptr equivalent to read. A task's cid
mask is only visible through ops.set_cmask(), which doesn't fire when a task
enters a scheduler through fork, sub-sched enable or re-home, so schedulers
seed the mask from p->cpus_ptr in ops.init_task(), and that seed goes stale
when affinity changes between init_task() and enable().

The first patch passes the initial cmask to cid-form ops.enable() through a
new args struct and has set_cmask() repeat it right after, so a scheduler can
track affinity in set_cmask() alone. The second adds a selftest for it.

Verified by building the kernel, tools/sched_ext and the selftests. The new
selftest passes on a 16-CPU VM, standalone three times and inside the full
sched_ext suite. scx_qmap ran under fork churn with a throwaway enable()
check comparing the delivered mask against p->cpus_ptr on about 55k enables
with no mismatch.

Based on sched_ext/for-7.3-fixes (9ec7ba20c97d).

This patchset contains the following 2 patches.

 0001 sched_ext: Pass the initial cmask to cid-form ops.enable()
 0002 selftests/sched_ext: Check the cmask cid-form ops.enable() receives

The patchset is also available in the following git branch:

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext.git cid-enable-args-v3

diffstat follows. Thanks.
