I looked through their code. But the issue I am facing is, they are specifically designed for an SMP environment. Whereas I am not too concerned about getting this working on SMP. Also, they use a lot of macros specific to their scheduler implementation. It wont be appropriate to copy all of them again to this scheduler code.

I have another question. For example, in Credit scheduer, is the list of VCPUs created while running the sched_credit.c? Or is it created through other files which is accessed through data structures in this file?
Because, if it is created only in this file, then I must create the list from the sched_rrobin.c file also.

Thanks & Regards
Ananth

Have you looked through the other schedulers (xen/common/sched_sedf.c,
xen/common/sched_credit.c) to see if you can learn anything / copy any
code?
