Subject: [PATCH 05/16] sched_ext: Make scx_enable() take scx_enable_cmd
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 21:19:34 -1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260421071945.3110084-6-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260421071945.3110084-1-tj@kernel.org>

Pass struct scx_enable_cmd to scx_enable() rather than unpacking @ops
at every call site and re-packing into a fresh cmd inside. bpf_scx_reg()
now builds the cmd on its stack and hands it in; scx_enable() just
wires up the kthread work and waits.

Relocate struct scx_enable_cmd above scx_alloc_and_add_sched() so
upcoming patches that also want the cmd can see it.

No behavior change.
