Agent infra QoS needs preemption across LS and BE classes, argues engineer
sloppenheimer · x · 2026-09-24
Continuing the virtio-pmem discussion, the author critiques an agent infrastructure stack's QoS design: it omits preemption, yet both latency-sensitive (LS) and best-effort (BE) workloads should be preemptible when tasks stall or higher-priority sandbox scheduling arrives. More scheduler detail is needed, though the core scheduling design earns praise.
