  • Sub-Scheduler Support Could Be One Of The Most Exciting Features To Come For Linux 7.1 While there are many great Linux 7.0 features with that still-young development cycle, looking ahead to Linux 7.1 this summer there’s an interesting feature on track: cgroup sub-scheduler support for sched_ext. For Linux’s extensible scheduler support with sched_ext, the cgroup sub-scheduler support currently being developed is quite promising and could help roll out more Linux performance especially on multi-tenant systems / heterogeneous workload environments Linux developer Tejun Heo yesterday posted his
