Package request: sched_ext kernel #305228

Closed LDprg closed 5 months ago

LDprg commented 6 months ago

Project description

Sched ext is a kernel module that allows to load out of tree schedulers (like lavd or rusty). Currently there is no package for using it in nixos afaik. Especially lavd could be interesting for gaming.

Note that the sched_ext kernel requires a nightly Rust toolchain to build due to core::ops::Generator being an experimental nightly-only feature.

This might not be necessary anymore since sched_ext is going to be merged in the 6.11 kernel:
