Probably the last one now that CFS is in the main line :-(.
A patch for 2.6.22 is available at:
<http://downloads.sourceforge.net/cpuse/plugsched-6.5.1-fo...>
Very Brief Documentation:
You can select a default scheduler at kernel build time. If you wish to
boot with a scheduler other than the default it can be selected at boot
time by adding:
cpusched=<scheduler>
to the boot command line where <scheduler> is one of: ingosched,
ingo_ll, nicksched, staircase, spa_no_frills, spa_ws, spa_svr, spa_ebs
or zaphod. If you don't change the default when you build the kernel
the default scheduler will be ingosched (which is the normal scheduler).
The scheduler in force on a running system can be determined by the
contents of:
/proc/scheduler
Control parameters for the scheduler can be read/set via files in:
/sys/cpusched/<scheduler>/
