“Ingo Molnar sent a merge request to Linus Torvalds for the
latest CFS fixes. CFS, the Completely Fair Scheduler, was merged
into the mainline Linux kernel in July of 2007. It was first
included in the 2.6.23 kernel, released in October of 2007. The
scheduler appears to be quickly stabilizing, visible in the minimal
assortment of fixes contained in the latest source code push. Ingo
Molnar summarized the changes:“‘There are two cross-subsystem groups of fixes: three commits
that resolve a KVM build fix on !SMP – acked by Avi to go in via
the scheduler git tree because it changes a central include file.
The other one is a powerpc CPU time accounting regression fix from
Paul Mackerras…”
