I can't wait to try this genius update. I think/hope this will be backported.

Lazy? Looks more like that little penguin took one of mommy's "vitamin" gummies.

Well it's a bit big to hit 6.12 or any LTS kernel right? And it's not a fix? I think the best hope is that distros add it manually to their kernel until 6.13 naturally rolls in

The patch could apply to 6.12 without much trouble though. The bigger problem would be merging the later updates if I diverge from the mainline.

I love that picture.

Can this image be inserted into the kernel documentation as the official portrait of Lazy Preemption? It's so cute.

In case someone wonders what this lazy preempt thing is, I wrote up an explanation in the other thread at https://www.phoronix.com/forums/foru...21#post1504521

Sounds like my kind of scheduling!

ptr1337 backported it on CachyOS 6.12 kernel.
I'm using his patch for my own kernel BTW, thanks ptr1337.
