I have mostly finished writing a new scheduler for FreeBSD. In the process I have modularized the scheduling decicions and broken the scheduler up into an API. It has been done in such a way that the scheduler could be chosen at compile time. My diff is available at http://www.chesapeake.net/~jroberson/sched.patch. It is a mostly complete reimplementation of the old scheduler on this new api. The old scheduler has some empty stubs that my new scheduler uses. My new scheduler is not included in this diff. This diff isn't intended to be complete. I'm looking for a design review not a code review. At present it does not even boot. I will be fixing it shortly. I'd like to get an idea of whether or not it's too late in 5.0 to get this in. If it is, I won't pursue it any further, and I'll save my new scheduler for another day. If not, I'd like to get my new scheduler in as an option for 5.0. Any feedback is welcome. Style bugs should be submitted in private messages so we don't clog the lists.
