From: Tejun Heo

Hello,

v2: - A sub's disable no longer reports. The report ran the op outside the
dispatch path, which meant setting up that path's context for the op's
kfuncs and gating the nested sub dispatch at runtime, and keeping the
report clear of the PM bypass took a lock that could stall a suspend.
The parent knows what it delegated, so ops.sub_detach() is where it
restores it, and its kerneldoc now says so (#1).
- scx_qmap resets a detaching child's cids from ops.sub_detach() (#2).

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20261008000352.1689057-1-tj@xxxxxxxxxx

A grant or revoke only records the target caps. They take effect on a cid at
its next dispatch, and nothing tells the parent when. Without that the
parent cannot act on a revoke, such as resetting the cpuperf target a child
left on the cid.

Patch 1 adds ops.sub_child_ecaps_updated(), delivered to the direct parent
right after the child's own ops.sub_ecaps_updated(), with the child's cgroup
id and the same before and after caps. A sub's disable reports nothing; the
parent restores what it delegated from ops.sub_detach(). Patch 2 makes
scx_qmap reset a child's cpuperf target once its PERF revoke takes effect,
and from sub_detach() for a detaching child.

Based on sched_ext/for-7.4 (3d7c2f550eef).

This patchset contains the following 2 patches.

0001 sched_ext: Add ops.sub_child_ecaps_updated() to report a child's effective cap changes
0002 sched_ext: scx_qmap: Reset a child's cpuperf targets once its PERF revoke takes effect
