Subject: sched_ext: Make scx_enable() take scx_enable_cmd
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/index.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c97ce728bcc43adcc861375f48433ac7adfd4e2e;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

sched_ext: Make scx_enable() take scx_enable_cmd

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.
