SCX eBPF macro __COMPAT_scx_bpf_dsq_move_set_slice

v6.13

The __COMPAT_scx_bpf_dsq_move_set_slice macro handles both the renaming of scx_bpf_dispatch_from_dsq_set_slice to scx_bpf_dsq_move_set_slice, and the case where the kernel has neither of these kfuncs.

Definition

#define __COMPAT_scx_bpf_dsq_move_set_slice(it__iter, slice)            \
    (bpf_ksym_exists(scx_bpf_dsq_move_set_slice) ?             \
     scx_bpf_dsq_move_set_slice((it__iter), (slice)) :          \
     (bpf_ksym_exists(scx_bpf_dispatch_from_dsq_set_slice___compat) ?  \
      scx_bpf_dispatch_from_dsq_set_slice___compat((it__iter), (slice)) :  \
      (void)0))

Usage

This macro checks at runtime if the kernel has the scx_bpf_dsq_move_set_slice(../../linux/kfuncs/scx_bpf_dsq_move_set_slice.md) kfunc, and if it does, it calls it. If it doesn't, it checks if the kernel has the scx_bpf_dispatch_from_dsq_set_slice kfunc, and if it does, it calls it. If neither of these kfuncs are available, it return zero.

These two kfuncs are functionally equivalent, but a rename happened since the name dispatch was overloaded and confusing.

All of this logic makes sure your program can run on any kernel, no matter changes made to the kfuncs.
