Implementation of FreeBSD's KSEs on Linux?
Hi there,
Are there any current projects to implement kernel-scheduled entities (KSEs) on Linux? They currently exist on FreeBSD, and seem like a really neat idea. I
The KSE research paper can be found at:
http://people.freebsd.org/~jasone/kse/
I think that KSEs are very similar to Scheduler Activations, although they added support for threads which can be scheduled in kernel-space as well as user-space.

AFAIK, there is no functioning KSE code in any version of FreeBSD, including the most recent -current version. It is planned, yes. Last I heard they didn't think it would even be ready for 5.0-RELEASE, currently anticipated this fall. Its quite a significant change to the kernel.
