• [$] Sub-schedulers for sched_ext

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Fri Jan 30 06:40:07 2026
    The extensible scheduler class (sched_ext)
    allows the installation of a custom CPU scheduler built as a set of BPF programs. Its merging for the 6.12 kernel release moved the kernel away
    from the "one scheduler fits all" approach that had been taken until then;
    now any system can have its own scheduler optimized for its workloads.
    Within any given machine, though, it's still "one scheduler fits all"; only
    one scheduler can be loaded for the system as a whole. The sched_ext sub-scheduler patch series from Tejun Heo aims to change that situation
    by allowing multiple CPU schedulers to run on a single system.
