Subject: [PATCH v2] sched_ext: Fix stale errno in scx_sub_enable_workfn()
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 18:03:52 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722100352.36627-1-cjian720@163.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <al-tQH99wT1RBfnd@gpd4>

The nesting depth check and the cgroup online check in
scx_sub_enable_workfn() reach err_disable without setting ret, so
the fallback error added by commit db4e9defd2e8 ("sched_ext: Record
an error on errno-only sub-enable failure") reports
"scx_sub_enable() failed (0)".

This is currently harmless because both paths record their own
scx_error() first and the first error wins, but it leaves the
fallback broken for these paths. Set -EINVAL and -ENODEV there
so the fallback always reports a real errno.

v2: The validate_ops() path from v1 is already fixed in for-7.3
    (sub.c already has ret = scx_validate_ops()), so only the two
    remaining paths are addressed.
