Subject: [PATCH 16/16] sched_ext: Require cid-form struct_ops for sub-sched support
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 21:19:45 -1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260421071945.3110084-17-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260421071945.3110084-1-tj@kernel.org>
Sub-scheduler support is tied to the cid-form struct_ops: sub_attach /
sub_detach will communicate allocation via cmask, and the hierarchy assumes
all participants share a single topological cid space. A cpu-form root that
accepts sub-scheds would need cpu <-> cid translation on every cross-sched
interaction, defeating the purpose.
Enforce this at validate_ops():
- A sub-scheduler (scx_parent(sch) non-NULL) must be cid-form.
- A root that exposes sub_attach / sub_detach must be cid-form.
scx_qmap, which is currently the only scheduler demoing sub-sched support,
was converted to cid-form in the preceding patch, so this doesn't cause
breakage.
