It's Looking Like sched_ext Will Try Again To Land For Linux 6.12
While Linus Torvalds was hoping to merge the sched_ext extensible scheduler for the Linux v6.11 kernel cycle, that didn't end up happening after some technical issues were raised on the kernel mailing list
Since then though the kernel developers have been collaborating and given the latest sched_ext patches with "for-next" and "for-6.12" markings, it's looking like the extensible scheduler will be attempted again for the Linux 6.12 merge window. Since it wasn't pulled for the Linux v6.11 merge window, as I wrote about a few days ago there have been new kernel patches to better prepare for sched_ext. Giving some indication that sched_ext might be ready for the next kernel cycle, maintainer Tejun Heo has been queuing new patches within a sched_ext.git for-6.12 branch.
