Replace the BPF_MAP_TYPE_QUEUE with a BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF to store the tasks dispatched from the user-space scheduler to the BPF component. This eliminates the need of the bpf() syscalls, significantly reducing the overhead of the user-space->kernel communication and delivering a notable performance boost in the overall system throughput. Based on experimental results, this change allows to reduces the scheduling overhead by approximately 30-35% when the system is overcommitted. This improvement has the potential to make user-space schedulers based on scx_rustland_core viable options for real production systems.

SCHED_EXT SCHEDULERS
Introduction
This directory contains the repo's schedulers.
Some of these schedulers are simply examples of different types of schedulers that can be built using sched_ext. They can be loaded and used to schedule on your system, but their primary purpose is to illustrate how various features of sched_ext can be used.
Other schedulers are actually performant, production-ready schedulers. That is, for the correct workload and with the correct tuning, they may be deployed in a production environment with acceptable or possibly even improved performance. Some of the examples could be improved to become production schedulers.
Please see the following README files for details on each of the various types of schedulers:
- rust describes all of the schedulers with rust user space components. All of these schedulers are production ready.
- c describes all of the schedulers with C user space components. All of these schedulers are production ready.
Note on syncing
Note that there is a sync-to-kernel.sh script in this directory. This is used to sync any changes to the specific schedulers with the Linux kernel tree. If you've made any changes to a scheduler in please use the script to synchronize with the sched_ext Linux kernel tree:
$ ./sync-to-kernel.sh /path/to/kernel/tree
