For those, like me, who don't know what this is: > The "Earliest Eligible Virtual Deadline First" (EEVDF) scheduling algorithm is not new; it was described in [a] 1995 paper by Ion Stoica and Hussein Abdel-Wahab. Its name suggests something similar to the Earliest Deadline First algorithm used by the kernel's deadline scheduler but, unlike that scheduler, EEVDF is not a realtime scheduler, so it works in different ways.
