[PATCH 03/34] sched/core: Swap the order between sched_post_fork() and cgroup_post_fork()
From: Tejun Heo
Date: Wed Feb 25 2026 - 00:02:38 EST
The planned sched_ext cgroup sub-scheduler support needs the newly forked
task to be associated with its cgroup in its post_fork() hook. There is no
existing ordering requirement between the two now. Swap them and note the
new ordering requirement.
