I was quite surprised that they introduced a new scheduler and replaced CFS with it in the same step. I would have expected it to become available, then default, then replace CFS. But I guess this should be interpreted as indicating they have tested it extensively already, with very low chance of significant regressions.
There is no mention of the, IMHO most interesting addition, new CPU scheduler EEVDF.
I’m curious how this will impact performance.
