MuQSS Scheduler Updated, Linux 4.19-ck1 Drops BFQ I/O Scheduler
![LINUX KERNEL](/assets/categories/linuxkernel.webp)
MuQSS 0.180 is the latest version of the scheduler designed for working particularly well on desktop and mobile systems for maximum responsiveness and interactivity. This code has been re-based against the upstream Linux 4.19 stable series along with his 4.19-ck1 patch-set that has accounting fixes.
With Linux 4.19-ck1, he has decided to drop the BFQ (Budget Fair Queuing) I/O scheduler. Kolivas commented, "I've been less than impressed with its latency over the last two kernel releases, and recommend people use another I/O scheduler." It's interesting to see his falling out with the BFQ I/O scheduler especially as there has been some talk of trying to push for BFQ to be the default I/O scheduler in a future kernel release.
The latest CK kernel patches and MuQSS scheduler can be found via Con's blog.
