Linux Scheduler Patches Aim To Address Performance Regression Since Last Year
20 May 2025 - Regressed Since Linux 6.11

A set of Linux kernel scheduler patches posted today are trying to address some performance regressions observed since the Linux 6.11 kernel that was released back in September 2024. These performance-fixing patches are flying under a "request for comments" flag and some of the regressions are tricky and perhaps not completely resolved, but it looks to be a step in the right direction.
