📚 [$] What's scheduled for sched_ext

David Vernet's second talk at the 2024 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit was a summary of the state of sched_ext, the extensible BPF scheduler that LWN covered a in early May. In short, sched_ext is intended as a platform for rapid experimentation with schedulers, and a tool to let performance-minded administrators customize the scheduler to their workload. The patch set has seen several revisions, becoming more generic and powerful over time. Vernet spoke about what has been done in the past year, and what is still missing before sched_ext can be considered pretty much complete.
