Finally, recompiling the kernel to change scheduler will be a thing of the past…
Wow! I didn’t expect sched_ext to be accepted based off historical precedent of not allowing multiple schedulers
I thought the focus would be on optimizing EEVDF now
This is going to be such an awesome addition. I saw an interview with one of the guys working on the project and it sounded so cool. I think the interview was on tech over tea with David Vernet. Great talk about the magic box thay is the Linux kernal.
Sounds good but what does sched_ext do and mean for the future?
Changing schedulers on-the-fly, depending on what you need to do on your machine.
Hasnt android (or at least custom roms) had this since forever?
I think you’re talking about CPU governors (conservative, ondemand, powersave etc.)
Awesome. No idea what that means, but AWESOME!
