Igalia⏰ Our talk at OSPM Summit 2026 is today!
“Evolving sched_ext: Resource Control, Topology Awareness, and Energy Efficiency for Modern Systems”
We’ll discuss the evolution of scx_lavd and sched_ext. https://retis.santannapisa.it/ospm-summit/
We’ll be speaking at OSPM Summit 2026! On the second day of the conference, @multics69 and Gavin Guo will present:
“Evolving sched_ext: Resource Control, Topology Awareness, and Energy Efficiency for Modern Systems.”
We’ll share lessons from evolving the scx_lavd scheduler.

Habr40 млн строк кода: как меняется ядро Linux в 2026 году
Начало 2026 года для сообщества ядра Linux получилось насыщенным. В конце января в документацию добавили раздел Linux kernel project continuity. В нем описывается, что произойдет, если ключевые участники проекта внезапно не смогут выполнять свою работу. Обсуждения шли еще на Maintainers Summit в декабре 2025-го, и теперь этот вопрос зафиксирован в документации в явном виде. Все вполне логично. Ядро Linux давно превратилось в часть огромной мировой инфраструктуры — с десятками миллионов строк кода, тысячами разработчиков из компаний по всему миру и постоянным давлением со стороны требований к производительности, безопасности и энергоэффективности. Поэтому сообщество вынуждено не только поддерживать текущий уровень стабильности, но и экспериментировать, стараться сделать систему гибче и надежнее. В 2026 году проявились несколько направлений такой работы — от Rust и планировщиков до поддержки новых архитектур. Давайте посмотрим, что тут и как.

claudexA fully functional sched_ext scheduler that makes real CPU scheduling decisions based on real-time planetary positions, zodiac signs, and astrological principles. This actually loads into the Linux kernel and schedules your system tasks. Because if the universe can influence our lives, why not our CPU scheduling too?
OmniglitchRethinking custom kernels in my Fedora setup script.
Installing custom kernels (CachyOS) might not be the best idea after all. They can break things during system upgrades, NVIDIA drivers rebuilding, module mismatches, dependency conflicts.
Instead, considering switching to sxc_lavd scheduler. Yes, it requires a COPR, but swapping a scheduler is a much smaller trade-off than maintaining a whole custom kernel. Stock #Fedora kernel stays intact, upgrades stay clean.
Thorsten Leemhuis (acct. 1/4)Using machine learning to optimize/fine-tune the #Linux #kernel at runtime to the needs of the workload – this is something I guess we'll see way more often in the future.
The recent #ossna25 talk "Improve Load Balancing With Machine Learning Techniques Based on the #sched_ext Framework" from Ching-Chun ("Jim") Huang gives a glimpse into such a future.

Using another Linux scheduler called [scx_bpfland](https://github.com/sched-ext/scx), a scheduler its job to manage the load across multiple cores effectively. [scx_bpfland](https://github.com/sched-ext/scx) is an alternative scheduler built on top of sched_ext....
Holger Hoffstätte#sched_ext protip: when running e.g. scx_bpfland on a server, make sure to use the -k (--local-kthreads) flag, otherwise full system saturation with CPU-bound tasks (e.g. a parallel make job using all cores) will severely starve I/O (e.g. DNS, NFS).
Really should be the default.. 🚀
Thorsten Leemhuis (acct. 2/4)The mainline-wo-mergew copr of the #kernel vanilla repositories[1] for #Fedora #Linux now ship 6.12 pre-releases that have the #BPF extensible scheduler class aka #sched_ext"[2] enabled, just like Fedora Rawhide will do with the next push of a new #LinuxKernel.
Many thx to Jose Fernandez for realizing this![3]

'"Despite conference travel (both for me and several maintainers), things seemed to go mostly fairly normally. There's a couple of notable new features in here: For one thing, #PREEMPT_RT is now mainlined and enabled as a config option (you do need to enable "EXPERT" to get the question). For another, #sched_ext also got merged.

Let's get the testing and calming down period started, ok?
