>Submitted today ahead of the Linux 6.14 stable release expected Sunday is a lone scheduler fix for the kernel. This patch is for reverting a change made to the Linux kernel two years ago that ended up regressing some workloads with a significant performance hit. Merged nearly two years ago to the day was this patch to the core scheduler code for trying to reduce the cost of the sched_move_task handling when using the CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP configuration. With a simple loop of a bash script launching many "sleep" commands as separate processes, this patch ended up reducing that execution time by around 57%.
