For Which disk?[edit]

It is unclear where we can benefit from the deadline scheduler. I'm running my Ubuntu from a flashdisk (USB) and would like to know if this scheduling is an improvement on a USB disk (which has low read latency, but extremely high write and random R/W latency). It would be cool to mention if this sceduler is aimed for RAID, HD, SSD, SD or USB Flash or ....

Explanation of front_merges[edit]

This chapter uses "current batch" vs "active batch" without explaining what this means or what the difference is. Also, why wouldn't all batches be checked whether a request could be merged into it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.146.191.154 (talk) 10:21, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation?[edit]

There is a piece of commercial software called Deadline (thinkboxsoftware.com) that is a render farm queue manager. Since both of these involve "scheduling" it might be helpful to provide some disambiguation. I'm not certain of the best way to approach that, but I figured I can at least bring it up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mmmancact (talk • contribs) 15:28, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Article too Linux specific[edit]

"Deadline scheduling" is a concept which has been around for decades – this Linux kernel component is just one implementation of it. We have an article discussing one particular theoretical version of it – Deadline-monotonic scheduling. But we have no coverage of other historically significant implementations, for example IBM mainframes, in particular JES3's implementation of deadline scheduling. I think either this article should be renamed to Deadline scheduler (Linux), or expanded to cover other historical instances. SomethingForDeletion (talk) 23:22, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
