New EEVDF Linux Scheduler Patches Make It Functionally "Complete"
Veteran Linux kernel developer Peter Zijlstra is working to wrap-up feature work around the EEVDF kernel scheduler code.
Anyway, in order to get my feet wet again with sitting behind a computer, find here a few patches that should functionally complete the EEVDF journey. Also, I think Ben expressed concern that preserving lag over long periods doesn't make sense a while back. The implementation presented here is one that should work with our cgroup mess and keeps most of the ugly inside fair.c unlike previous versions which puked all over the core scheduler code.
