Revisiting Linux CPU Scheduling


blog · git · desktop · images · contact 2024-08-03 Disclaimer: This is to the best of my knowledge. It's a complicated topic, there are tons of options, and this only covers a tiny fraction of this topic anyway.

So, if I understand correctly, the system no longer distinguishes between "category (A) and (B)" as described in this old blog post of Lennart Poettering. This means, when I log in on one TTY and do nothing special, all processes spawned from here are put into the same cgroup and thus into the same task group for scheduling. (Maybe somehow disabling the CPU cgroup controller could be an option, but it's highly doubtful that it would be a stable, supported setup.)
