The Linux kernel's extensible scheduler class, sched_ext, has received a significant wave of bug fixes following the Linux 7.1-rc1 release. These patches address long-standing issues, including memory leaks, use-after-free errors, and locking inconsistencies. The surge in activity is attributed to AI-assisted code reviews pioneered by Btrfs creator Chris Mason at Meta. Maintainer Tejun Heo confirmed that these reviews have successfully identified complex bugs, leading to a larger-than-usual patch batch, with several fixes slated for back-porting to earlier LTS kernels like 6.12.
