We currently only allow calling sleepable scx kfuncs (i.e. scx_bpf_create_dsq()) from BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS progs. The idea here was that we'd never have to call scx_bpf_create_dsq() outside of a sched_ext struct_ops callback, but that might not actually be true. For example, a scheduler could do something like the following: 1. Open and load (not yet attach) a scheduler skel 2. Synchronously call into a BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL prog from user space. For example, to initialize an LLC domain, or some other global, read-only state. 3. Attach the skel, which actually enables the scheduler The advantage of doing this is that it can preclude having to do pretty ugly boilerplate like initializing a read-only, statically sized array of u64[]'s which the kernel consumes literally once at init time to then create struct bpf_cpumask objects which are actually queried at runtime. Doing the above is already possible given that we can invoke core BPF kfuncs, such as bpf_cpumask_create(), from BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL progs. We already allow many scx kfuncs to be called from BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL progs (e.g. scx_bpf_kick_cpu()). Let's allow the sleepable kfuncs as well.
