Andrea Righi b0a8e4a91e scx_bpfland: better time slice control
Explicitly replenish the task's time slice from ops.dispatch() if the
task still wants to run and no other task is selected. In this way the
sched_ext core won't automatically re-schedule the task on the same CPU,
implicitly assigning a time slice of SCX_SLICE_DFL.

Moreover, instead of determining the task time slice in ops.enqueue(),
refresh the time slice immediately before the task is started on its
assigned CPU in ops.running().

This allows to use a more precise time slice, adjusted based on the
actual amount of tasks that are currently waiting to be scheduled.

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
