Subject: [PATCHSET v2 sched_ext/for-7.4] sched_ext: Add scx_bpf_cgroup_nr_cpus()
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 11:00:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930090049.1035813-1-arighi@nvidia.com> (raw)

Hierarchical BPF schedulers need to know how many CPUs a cgroup can run
on when distributing group-wide weights. For example, fair's group share
calculation scales a group's weight by the smaller of its estimated
runnable task count and the number of CPUs in its effective cpuset.
Without that count, a BPF scheduler can only use the machine-wide CPU
count and may give a group confined to a few CPUs excessive shares.

This series adds scx_bpf_cgroup_nr_cpus(), a kfunc that returns the same
count fair uses. This allows scx_eevdf to compute per-cgroup shares for
groups confined to a subset of CPUs through cpuset. A selftest covers
effective and inherited cpusets, changes to the allowed CPUs, and calls
with and without a scheduler attached.

This series requires Waiman Long's cpuset fix to avoid a potential
use-after-free in a rare cgroup filesystem rebind race:

Changes in v2:
 - Drop the cpuset RCU guard patch
 - Link to v1:
