cpu_acquire and cpu_release are deprecated and slated for removal. Move
their declarations to the end of struct sched_ext_ops so an upcoming
cid-form struct (sched_ext_ops_cid) can omit them entirely without
disturbing the offsets of the shared fields.
Switch the two SCX_HAS_OP() callers for these ops to direct field checks
since the relocated ops sit outside the SCX_OPI_END range covered by the
has_op bitmap.
scx_kf_allow_flags[] auto-sizes to the highest used SCX_OP_IDX, so
SCX_OP_IDX(cpu_release) moving to a higher index just enlarges the
sparse array; the lookup logic is unchanged.

Hello,
Reposting v2 because the original send was not properly threaded -
each patch went out as a standalone top-level message. Content is
unchanged from the original v2.
Original v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260424013220.2923402-1-tj@kernel.org
v2 of https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260421071945.3110084-1-tj@kernel.org
v2:
- Add ext-types.h first patch for early subsystem-wide type defs.
- cid: publish the cid tables with WRITE_ONCE / read with READ_ONCE;
document the visibility contract.
- cid-kfuncs: NULL-guard scx_bpf_this_cid / scx_bpf_task_cid for
TRACING/SYSCALL callers before any SCX sched has enabled.
- cid-struct-ops: use struct_size() for the set_cmask_scratch percpu
alloc; cluster __scx_is_cid_type disable with __scx_enabled disable
in scx_root_disable().
- cid-kfunc-filter: sync per-entry kfunc flags with each kfunc's
primary BTF_ID_FLAGS() declaration (Zhao). pahole intersects flags
across occurrences; omitting them drops the flags globally - the
visible symptom was KF_IMPLICIT_ARGS getting cleared on
scx_bpf_kick_cpu, leaking bpf_prog_aux into vmlinux.h.
- cmask: narrow to the helpers this series actually uses;
cmask_copy_from_kernel contract and runtime guard.
This patchset introduces topological CPU IDs (cids) - dense,
topology-ordered cpu identifiers - and an alternative cid-form struct_ops
type that lets BPF schedulers operate in cid space directly.
Key pieces:
- cid space: scx_cid_init() walks nodes * LLCs * cores * threads and packs
a dense cid mapping. The mapping can be overridden via
scx_bpf_cid_override(). See "Topological CPU IDs" in ext_cid.h for the
model.
- cmask: a base-windowed bitmap over cid space. Kernel and BPF helpers with
identical semantics. Used by scx_qmap for per-task affinity and idle-cid
tracking; meant to be the substrate for sub-sched cid allocation.
- bpf_sched_ext_ops_cid: a parallel struct_ops type whose callbacks take
cids/cmasks instead of cpus/cpumasks. Kernel translates at the boundary
via scx_cpu_arg() / scx_cpu_ret(); the two struct types share offsets up
through @priv (verified by BUILD_BUG_ON) so the union view in scx_sched
works without function-pointer casts. Sub-sched support is tied to
cid-form: validate_ops() rejects cpu-form sub-scheds and cpu-form roots
that expose sub_attach / sub_detach.
- cid-form kfuncs: scx_bpf_kick_cid, scx_bpf_cidperf_{cap,cur,set},
scx_bpf_cid_curr, scx_bpf_task_cid, scx_bpf_this_cid,
scx_bpf_nr_{cids,online_cids}, scx_bpf_cid_to_cpu, scx_bpf_cpu_to_cid.
A cid-form program may not call cpu-only kfuncs (enforced at verifier
load via scx_kfunc_context_filter); the reverse is intentionally
permissive to ease migration.
- scx_qmap port: scx_qmap is converted to cid-form. It uses the cmask-based
idle picker, per-task cid-space cpus_allowed, and cid-form kfuncs
throughout. Sub-sched dispatching via scx_bpf_sub_dispatch() continues to
work.
v2 re-tested on the 16-cpu QEMU: cid-form scx_qmap, cpu-form scx_simple,
cid<->cpu cycling, scx_qmap under stress-ng, hotplug auto-restart, and
sub-sched (root scx_qmap + cgroup-scoped scx_qmap child). Clean.
Based on sched_ext/for-7.2 (c2929bc21dce).

Hello,
v3 (all from the Sashiko AI review at
https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260424172721.3458520-1-tj%40kernel.org):
- cid: drop leaked cpus_read_lock() on scx_cid_init() failure;
BUILD_BUG_ON tightened to NR_CPUS<=8192 to match the BPF cmask
helpers' CMASK_MAX_WORDS coverage.
- bpf-struct-size: use offsetof() in struct_size() to match the
kernel <linux/overflow.h> macro semantics (no inflation from
trailing struct padding).
- cmask: cmask_copy_from_kernel() validates src->base==0 via
probe-read; nr_bits check is bit-level rather than rounded-up
word-count.
- cid-qmap-idle: qmap_init() refuses to load when scx_bpf_nr_cids()
exceeds SCX_QMAP_MAX_CPUS; the task_ctx flex array would otherwise
overflow into the next slab entry.
