Subject: [PATCH v2 sched_ext/for-7.2] sched_ext: Forbid cpu-form kfuncs from cid-form schedulers
Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2026 13:04:24 -1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <38133c3fa792e3a5d5b425729f59b9ee@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260421071945.3110084-13-tj@kernel.org>
cid and cpu are both small s32s, trivially confused when a cid-form
scheduler calls a cpu-keyed kfunc. Reject cid-form programs that
reference any kfunc in the new scx_kfunc_ids_cpu_only at verifier load
time.
The reverse direction is intentionally permissive: cpu-form schedulers
can freely call cid-form kfuncs to ease a gradual cpumask -> cid
migration.
The check sits in scx_kfunc_context_filter() right after the SCX
struct_ops gate and before the any/idle allow and per-op allow-list
checks, so it catches cpu-only kfuncs regardless of which set they
belong to (any, idle, or select_cpu).
v2: Sync per-entry kfunc flags with their primary declarations (Zhao).
pahole intersects flags across BTF_ID_FLAGS() occurrences, so
omitting them drops the flags globally.
