+Scheduler-Dependent Knobs
+-------------------------
+
+The fair-class scheduler enforces CPU controller settings such as
+``cpu.max``, ``cpu.weight`` and ``cpu.idle``. For sched_ext tasks, the
+scheduler core communicates these settings to the BPF scheduler
+through ``ops.cgroup_init()`` and reports subsequent changes through
+the corresponding ``ops.cgroup_set_*()`` callbacks. Similarly, per-task
+nice changes are converted to weights and reported through
+``ops.set_weight()``.
+
+Each BPF scheduler is responsible for implementing the scheduling
+semantics of these settings and may choose to ignore them. Consult the
+loaded scheduler's documentation before relying on these controls.
