Linux – Does Linux kernel 3.x use the CFS process scheduler

kernellinuxscheduling

Does the latest version of the Linux kernel (3.x) still use the Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS) for process scheduling which was introduced in 2.6.x ?

If it doesn't, which one does it use, and how does it work? Please provide a source.

That's still the default, yes, though I would not call it the same, as it is constantly in development. You can read how it works with links to the code at http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/scheduler/sched-design-CFS.txt
