Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 0/3] Add scheduler overview documentation
This patch series updates the scheduler documentation to add more topics
wrt to scheduler overview. New sections are added to provide a brief
overview of the kernel structs used by the scheduler, scheduler invocation
and context switch.
The previous version was reviewed at
Link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/5/6/630
version 3:
Fix spelling, spacing and typo errors.
version 2:
- Remove :c:func: directive as it was redundant
- Limit document width (line symbol count) to 75
- Replace dot file with ASCII art
- Describe prepare_task_switch(), ASID use,
kernel/user transtion, MIPS FPU affinity correctly
- Add missing references to files
- Removed internal APIs from scheduler API reference
- Described rq struct member as kernel-doc comments
- Replaced CFS history with CFS current status
- Added documentation for sched_class fields
- Refined explanation of context swtich functionality
- Replace CFS history with recent changes
- Added kernel-doc comments for struct rq
