    Merge tag 'sched_ext-for-6.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext · 88264981
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull sched_ext support from Tejun Heo:
     "This implements a new scheduler class called ‘ext_sched_class’, or
      sched_ext, which allows scheduling policies to be implemented as BPF
      programs.
    
      The goals of this are:
    
       - Ease of experimentation and exploration: Enabling rapid iteration
         of new scheduling policies.
    
       - Customization: Building application-specific schedulers which
         implement policies that are not applicable to general-purpose
         schedulers.
    
       - Rapid scheduler deployments: Non-disruptive swap outs of scheduling
         policies in production environments"

    for the latest series:
