[PATCH v2 sched_ext/for-7.2] sched_ext: Move sources under kernel/sched/ext/

From: Tejun Heo

Date: Sun Jun 21 2026 - 14:34:53 EST


The sched_ext sources had grown to ten ext* files directly under
kernel/sched/. Move them into a new kernel/sched/ext/ subdirectory and drop
the now-redundant ext_ prefix. ext.c/h keep their names.

kernel/sched/ext.{c,h} -> kernel/sched/ext/ext.{c,h}
kernel/sched/ext_internal.h -> kernel/sched/ext/internal.h
kernel/sched/ext_types.h -> kernel/sched/ext/types.h
kernel/sched/ext_idle.{c,h} -> kernel/sched/ext/idle.{c,h}
kernel/sched/ext_cid.{c,h} -> kernel/sched/ext/cid.{c,h}
kernel/sched/ext_arena.{c,h} -> kernel/sched/ext/arena.{c,h}

The include paths in build_policy.c and sched.h, the MAINTAINERS glob, and a
few documentation and comment references are updated to match. No code or
symbol changes.

Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx>

v2: Update two ext_cid.c comment references the rename missed in cid.h and
ext.c (sashiko AI).

I'm applying this to sched_ext/for-7.2 and sending it to Linus before the
merge window closes so that for-7.2-fixes and for-7.3 don't diverge
unnecessarily.

Thanks.
