How Linux Process Scheduling Became a CPU Contention Solution

Lucas and Luna dive into the Linux kernel's new extensible scheduler framework, sched_ext, which lets developers write scheduling policies as BPF programs without patching the kernel. They explore how Google and Meta use it to reduce tail latency on production servers, the story of the 2024 kernel summit that accelerated its merge, and why this matters for cloud workloads running on June 11, 2026. Along the way, they discuss the old CFS vs. new EEVDF debate and how sched_ext changes the game for real-time and heterogeneous computing.
