Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Andrea Righi <[email protected]>
* Package name : scx Version : 1.2 Upstream Author : Andrea Righi <[email protected]> * URL : https://github.com/sched-ext/scx * License : GPL-2 Programming Lang: Rust and C Description : sched_ext kernel schedulers and tooling sched_ext is a Linux kernel feature that enables implementing CPU schedulers using BPF programs that can be dynamically loaded at runtime. This allows safe and rapid iteration on scheduling policies without requiring kernel rebuilds. The scx project provides a collection of sched_ext-based schedulers, along with user-space tooling and libraries to manage, load, and experiment with them. The user-space components are primarily written in Rust, while the kernel-side scheduler logic is implemented in C via BPF. The core sched_ext infrastructure is available in the upstream Linux kernel starting with version 6.12. As no volunteer maintainer emerged following the initial RFP, I intend to maintain this package myself and am therefore converting this request into an ITP.
