[PATCH sched_ext/for-7.1] tools/sched_ext: Add compat handling for sub-scheduler ops

From: Andrea Righi

Date: Sat Mar 21 2026 - 06:21:20 EST


Extend SCX_OPS_OPEN() with compatibility handling for ops.sub_attach()
and ops.sub_detach(), allowing scx C schedulers with sub-scheduler
support to run on kernels both with and without its support.

Fixes: ebeca1f930ea ("sched_ext: Introduce cgroup sub-sched support")
