[PATCH 09/17] tools/sched_ext: Add struct_size() helpers to common.bpf.h

From: Tejun Heo

Date: Wed Apr 29 2026 - 14:24:48 EST


Add flex_array_size(), struct_size() and struct_size_t() to
scx/common.bpf.h so BPF schedulers can size flex-array-containing
structs the same way kernel code does. These are abbreviated forms of
the <linux/overflow.h> macros.

v3: Use offsetof() instead of sizeof() in struct_size() to match kernel
semantics (no inflation from trailing struct padding). (Sashiko)
