// This file contains structures that implement scheduling queue types.
// Scheduling queues hold pods waiting to be scheduled. This file has two types
// of scheduling queue: 1) a FIFO, which is mostly the same as cache.FIFO, 2) a
// priority queue which has two sub queues. One sub-queue holds pods that are
// being considered for scheduling. This is called activeQ. Another queue holds
// pods that are already tried and are determined to be unschedulable. The latter
// is called unschedulableQ.
// FIFO is here for flag-gating purposes and allows us to use the traditional
// scheduling queue when util.PodPriorityEnabled() returns false.
