Linus Torvalds 2004cef11e In the v6.12 scheduler development cycle we had 63 commits from 18 contributors:
- Implement the SCHED_DEADLINE server infrastructure - Daniel Bristot de Oliveira's
    last major contribution to the kernel:
 
      "SCHED_DEADLINE servers can help fixing starvation issues of low priority
      tasks (e.g., SCHED_OTHER) when higher priority tasks monopolize CPU
      cycles. Today we have RT Throttling; DEADLINE servers should be able to
      replace and improve that."
 
      (Daniel Bristot de Oliveira, Peter Zijlstra, Joel Fernandes,
       Youssef Esmat, Huang Shijie)
 
  - Preparatory changes for sched_ext integration:
 
      - Use set_next_task(.first) where required
      - Fix up set_next_task() implementations
      - Clean up DL server vs. core sched
      - Split up put_prev_task_balance()
      - Rework pick_next_task()
      - Combine the last put_prev_task() and the first set_next_task()
      - Rework dl_server
      - Add put_prev_task(.next)
 
       (Peter Zijlstra, with a fix by Tejun Heo)
 
  - Complete the EEVDF transition and refine EEVDF scheduling:
 
      - Implement delayed dequeue
      - Allow shorter slices to wakeup-preempt
      - Use sched_attr::sched_runtime to set request/slice suggestion
      - Document the new feature flags
      - Remove unused and duplicate-functionality fields
      - Simplify & unify pick_next_task_fair()
      - Misc debuggability enhancements
 
       (Peter Zijlstra, with fixes/cleanups by Dietmar Eggemann,
        Valentin Schneider and Chuyi Zhou)
 
  - Initialize the vruntime of a new task when it is first enqueued,
    resulting in significant decrease in latency of newly woken tasks.
    (Zhang Qiao)
 
  - Introduce SM_IDLE and an idle re-entry fast-path in __schedule()
    (K Prateek Nayak, Peter Zijlstra)
 
  - Clean up and clarify the usage of Clean up usage of rt_task()
    (Qais Yousef)
 
  - Preempt SCHED_IDLE entities in strict cgroup hierarchies
    (Tianchen Ding)
 
  - Clarify the documentation of time units for deadline scheduler
    parameters. (Christian Loehle)
 
  - Remove the HZ_BW chicken-bit feature flag introduced a year ago,
    the original change seems to be working fine.
    (Phil Auld)
 
  - Misc fixes and cleanups (Chen Yu, Dan Carpenter, Huang Shijie,
    Peilin He, Qais Yousefm and Vincent Guittot)
