[PATCH 2/2] sched_ext: Make scx_bpf_events() read the calling scheduler's counters
From: Tejun Heo
Date: Sat Aug 15 2026 - 01:52:06 EST
scx_bpf_events() always reads the root scheduler's event counters, so a
sub-scheduler program querying its own events silently gets the root's
instead and has no BPF-visible way to read its own (the per-scheduler sysfs
"events" file is the only interface). Resolve the scheduler from the calling
program with scx_prog_sched(). Unassociated programs follow the usual
scx_prog_sched() resolution: the root scheduler under a pre-sub-attach
compat root and zeroed counters otherwise.
Also fix up the malformed comment into proper kerneldoc.
