Andrea Righi 8a3ee7b801 scx_rustland: never use a time slice that exceeds the default value
Make sure to never assign a time slice longer than the default time
slice, that can be used as an upper limit.

This seems to prevent potential stall conditions (reported by the
CachyOS community) when running CPU-intensive workloads, such as:

 [   68.062813] sched_ext: BPF scheduler "rustland" errored, disabling
 [   68.062831] sched_ext: runnable task stall (ollama_llama_se[3312] failed to run for 5.180s)
 [   68.062832]    scx_watchdog_workfn+0x154/0x1e0
 [   68.062837]    process_one_work+0x18e/0x350
 [   68.062839]    worker_thread+0x2fa/0x490
 [   68.062841]    kthread+0xd2/0x100
 [   68.062842]    ret_from_fork+0x34/0x50

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
