sched_ext: Report a sub-scheduler's ecaps on attach and detach
A sub-scheduler learns which cids it holds through ops.sub_ecaps_updated(),
but the caps granted from ops.sub_attach() reach it only after its enable
bypass lifts, when it is already scheduling its tasks.
Report the caps at the end of the enable, before bypass lifts. On disable,
report their loss before any task goes back to the parent, so that the
parent hears of the loss of every cap it was told of on an active cpu.
ops.sub_detach() remains where the parent cleans up after the sub-scheduler.
Deliveries no longer depend on bypass, so ops.sub_ecaps_updated() and
ops.sub_child_ecaps_updated() also run while a scheduler bypasses. The
replay at unbypass goes, and the enable's bypass returns to after
ops.sub_attach().
A sub-scheduler's ecaps now change only with the deliveries that report
them, so that whenever its ops run under the rq lock, its caps are the ones
it was last told of. A sync before the attach report leaves them alone, and
the detach report zeroes them as it delivers the loss. A cpu going offline
still drops its caps without a report, and those are the only changes not
delivered. clear_all_caps() drops that unreported loss on inactive cpus.
The following things need care. A report reschedules only the cpus the
sub-scheduler was ever granted a cap on. Rescheduling every cpu would
disrupt a large machine split many ways, and which cpus still owe a delivery
can't be read off the caps.
The report and a queued sync reschedule the cpu from hard irq work on that
cpu, not with a kick or a direct resched. dispatch_one() processes the syncs
only at its start, and a kick only guarantees that a scheduling event
completes after it, which can be the pick in progress. That pick has already
processed the syncs and clears the resched, and a cpu that then idles or
runs a task with an infinite slice leaves the report waiting. A pick runs
with IRQs off, so the irq work runs after any pick in progress on that cpu.
Under core scheduling, a sibling's committed pick can switch the cpu without
dispatch_one(), and a sync queued after that pick is processed only at the
cpu's next scheduling event. A cpu running a task of a higher class isn't
rescheduled, as its pick would return that task again. While the root
bypasses, a queued sync doesn't reschedule the cpu, as a grant or revoke can
run in the PM syscore phase, where irq work can malfunction. The report
never runs there and reschedules the cpu itself.
The report waits on an rcuwait woken from hard irq work. Under core
scheduling, a cpu going down can process a sibling's marked sync after
hotplug has parked its irq_work thread. On PREEMPT_RT, a regular irq_work
queued there would be left behind, and a hard irq can't take a wait queue's
lock.
v2: Reschedule from hard irq work on the cpu instead of a kick (sashiko).
