[PATCH v2] sched_ext: allow ops.cgroup_set_bandwidth() to be sleepable

ops.cgroup_set_bandwidth() is delivered from scx_group_set_bandwidth(), which runs from the cpu.max cgroup interface write path (tg_set_bandwidth()) in process context. scx_group_set_bandwidth() holds percpu_down_read(&scx_cgroup_ops_rwsem), whose read side may sleep. The call site is therefore sleepable, like ops.cgroup_init(). bpf_scx_check_member() rejects a sleepable program on any member not on its allow-list, so a BPF scheduler cannot allocate -- which is sleepable -- when a cgroup gains a cpu.max limit at runtime; it must instead pre-reserve memory for a callback that cannot allocate. Add cgroup_set_bandwidth() to the allow-list so the callback can allocate on demand, and document that it may block. A scheduler must decide at load time whether to mark the callback sleepable, but the allow-list entry is a verifier property with no symbol to probe. Add a compatibility marker whose presence in the kernel's BTF lets userspace detect this support: DEFINE_SCX_COMPAT_MARKER() emits an empty, callerless function, here scx_compat_marker_cgroup_set_bandwidth_may_sleep(). It is __used __retain so neither the compiler nor the linker (under CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION) drops it. The markers share the scx_compat_marker_ prefix and are collected near the end of ext.c so more can be added as further capabilities appear. Signed-off-by: Changwoo Min <[email protected]> --- Change in v2: - Mark the capability marker __retain in addition to __used so the linker does not garbage-collect it under CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION (cf. __bpf_kfunc). - Give the markers a shared scx_compat_marker_ prefix via a new DEFINE_SCX_COMPAT_MARKER() helper, collected near the module init code at the end of ext.c so future markers live in one place. --- kernel/sched/ext/ext.c | 14 ++++++++++++++ kernel/sched/ext/internal.h | 23 ++++++++++++++++++++++- 2 files changed, 36 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/kernel/sched/ext/ext.c b/kernel/sched/ext/ext.c index 10af28a9f2c0..b646711a45fe 100644 --- a/kernel/sched/ext/ext.c +++ b/kernel/sched/ext/ext.c @@ -8079,6 +8079,7 @@ static int bpf_scx_check_member(const struct btf_type *t, case offsetof(struct sched_ext_ops, cgroup_init): case offsetof(struct sched_ext_ops, cgroup_exit): case offsetof(struct sched_ext_ops, cgroup_prep_move): + case offsetof(struct sched_ext_ops, cgroup_set_bandwidth): #endif case offsetof(struct sched_ext_ops, cpu_online): case offsetof(struct sched_ext_ops, cpu_offline): @@ -11041,3 +11042,16 @@ static int __init scx_init(void) return 0; } __initcall(scx_init); + +/* + * Compatibility markers for userspace.
