Description:
The Linux Plumbers Conference blog has a
report from the sched_ext microconference held in Prague. Three main topics dominated the discussions Priority inversion and how to handle it in
sched_ext : lock holder and
lock waiter preemption, time slice extension, and making proxy execution
work together with BPF schedulers. Paravirtualized scheduling : letting the host and guest schedulers
cooperate across the VM boundary, with sched_ext as the policy engine on
the host. Device and topology-aware scheduling : using hardware feedback (Intel
HFI), device/accelerator locality and cache topology to drive task
placement.
