rusty: Remove explicit padding
As of libbpf-rs 0.23.0 (which contains commit
9d9e979fcf),
libbpf-rs now generates rust structs that honor padding. We can
therefore remove the custom padding in scx_rusty's struct pcpu_ctx.

For example, here is the generated pub struct pcpu_ctx:

pub struct pcpu_ctx {
    pub dom_rr_cur: u32,
    pub dom_id: u32,
    pub nr_node_doms: u32,
    pub node_doms: [u32; 64],
    pub __pad_268: [u8; 52],
}

And here is the matching struct in the BPF object file:

struct pcpu_ctx {
        u32                        dom_rr_cur;           /*     0     4 */
        u32                        dom_id;               /*     4     4 */
        u32                        nr_node_doms;         /*     8     4 */
        u32                        node_doms[64];        /*    12   256 */

        /* size: 320, cachelines: 5, members: 4 */
        /* padding: 52 */
} __attribute__((__aligned__(64)));

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
