Changwoo Min bdbfeb9fd1 scx_lavd: use logical current clock for virtual deadlines
This commit changes the use of a physical clock to a virtual, logical
clock in calculating deadlines.

- The virtual current clock advances upon a task's running to its
  virtual deadline.

- When enqueuing a task, its virtual deadline from the virtual current
  clock is calculated.

With the above two changes, this guarantees that there is no such task
whose virtual deadline is smaller than the virtual current clock. This
means any enqueuing task can compete with any other already enqueued
tasks. This allows a latency-critical task to be immediately scheduled
if needed.

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
