Subject: Re: [PATCH] sched_ext: Reject task setter kfuncs outside SCX contexts

Hello, zhidao.

This is intended. A scheduler is conceptually the struct_ops plus the
accompanying BPF programs identified by the associated struct_ops, and these
operations are explicitly allowed for all of them. scx_prog_sched() and
scx_task_on_sched() confine each to tasks owned by its own scheduler, so this
isn't an escape from SCX context and there's nothing to reject.

Thanks.
