The extensible scheduler class, which
enables the creation of custom CPU schedulers with BPF, has led to a burst
of innovation in this area; the
LAVD scheduler
has, perhaps, been one of the most noteworthy schedulers
to emerge. Though it was originally designed
for gaming applications
, the LAVD scheduler has since grown to serve
other types of workloads as well. At the 2026 edition of Kernel Recipes, Changwoo Min
and Gavin Guo presented an overview of this scheduler and how it has
evolved over time.
