In sched_ext API, a repeatedly reported pain point is the overuse of the verb "dispatch" and confusion around "consume": - ops.dispatch() - scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]() - scx_bpf_consume() - scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]_from_dsq*() This overloading of the term is historical. Originally, there were only built-in DSQs and moving a task into a DSQ always dispatched it for execution. Using the verb "dispatch" for the kfuncs to move tasks into these DSQs made sense. Later, user DSQs were added and scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]() updated to be able to insert tasks into any DSQ. The only allowed DSQ to DSQ transfer was from a non-local DSQ to a local DSQ and this operation was named "consume". This was already confusing as a task could be dispatched to a user DSQ from ops.enqueue() and then the DSQ would have to be consumed in ops.dispatch(). Later addition of scx_bpf_dispatch_from_dsq*() made the confusion even worse as "dispatch" in this context meant moving a task to an arbitrary DSQ from a user DSQ. Clean up the API with the following renames: 1. scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]() -> scx_bpf_dsq_insert[_vtime]() 2. scx_bpf_consume() -> scx_bpf_dsq_move_to_local() 3. scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]_from_dsq*() -> scx_bpf_dsq_move[_vtime]*() This patch performs the first set of renames. Compatibility is maintained by: - The previous kfunc names are still provided by the kernel so that old binaries can run. Kernel generates a warning when the old names are used. - compat.bpf.h provides wrappers for the new names which automatically fall back to the old names when running on older kernels. They also trigger build error if old names are used for new builds. The compat features will be dropped after v6.15. v2: Documentation updates.
