Hello, A task's sched must match its cgroup's: each sub-scheduler serves the cgroup2 subtree it is attached to and the root scheduler serves the rest. Cgroup migration currently breaks this. A task moved across a sub-scheduler boundary keeps its old sched, leading to wrong-sched scheduling and, once the stale sched is freed, a use-after-free. Cgroup ops are also always delivered to the root scheduler no matter which sched serves the cgroup. This patchset makes both follow the sub-scheduler topology: - cgroup gains a task migration notifier (0001). sched_ext uses it to re-home tasks whose migration crosses a sched boundary: the destination sched runs the fallible ops.init_task() before the migration commits, so a rejection fails the cgroup.procs write (0002-0004). - cgroup_init/exit and the knob ops are delivered to the sched each task_group is on. The move ops go to the task's sched, only for migrations that don't re-home it (0005). - Sub-scheduler enable claims the subtree's cgroups from the parent and disable returns them. A parent that fails to re-init a returned cgroup fails in turn and the cgroups move up the chain, ending at the root scheduler (0006). - scx_qmap consumes cgroup weights through ops.cgroup_set_weight() and gains fault injection modes to exercise the failure paths (0007-0008). Verified with a trace-based suite on the demo scheduler covering op delivery and routing, handover failures, multi-level punt chains, cgroup1 and stress. Based on sched_ext/for-7.3 (7c2cd767705d).
