"The min_granularity setting was renamed to base_slice in this commit in v6 kernel.
The comment says it scales with CPU count and the comment is incorrect. I wonder whether kernel developers are aware of that mistake as they are rewriting the scheduler!
- Official comments in the code says it’s scaling with log2(1+cores) but it doesn’t.
- All the comments in the code are incorrect.
- Official documentation and man pages are incorrect.
- Every blog article, stack overflow answer and guide ever published about the scheduler is incorrect."

Lol, all the comments there say this is bogus for one reason or another.
As of now most of the top comments here are also in agreement with that take.
What’s this for?
