| Provide block layer support for the kernel. |
| |
| Disable this option to remove the block layer support from the |
| kernel. This may be useful for embedded devices. |
| |
| If this option is disabled: |
| |
| - block device files will become unusable |
| - some filesystems (such as ext3) will become unavailable. |
| |
| Also, SCSI character devices and USB storage will be disabled since |
| they make use of various block layer definitions and facilities. |
| |
| Say Y here unless you know you really don't want to mount disks and |
| suchlike. |

| help |
| Enable loading modules and creating block device instances based on |
| accesses through their device special file. This is a historic Linux |
| feature and makes no sense in a udev world where device files are |
| created on demand, but scripts that manually create device nodes and |
| then call losetup might rely on this behavior. |

| select BLK_CGROUP_RWSTAT |
| help |
| Block layer bio throttling support. It can be used to limit |
| the IO rate to a device. IO rate policies are per cgroup and |
| one needs to mount and use blkio cgroup controller for creating |
| cgroups and specifying per device IO rate policies. |
| |
| See Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v1/blkio-controller.rst for more information. |

| config BLK_DEV_THROTTLING_LOW |
| bool "Block throttling .low limit interface support (EXPERIMENTAL)" |
| depends on BLK_DEV_THROTTLING |
| help |
| Add .low limit interface for block throttling. The low limit is a best |
| effort limit to prioritize cgroups. Depending on the setting, the limit |
| can be used to protect cgroups in terms of bandwidth/iops and better |
| utilize disk resource. |
| |
| Note, this is an experimental interface and could be changed someday. |
| |
| config BLK_WBT |
| bool "Enable support for block device writeback throttling" |
| help |
| Enabling this option enables the block layer to throttle buffered |
| background writeback from the VM, making it more smooth and having |
| less impact on foreground operations. The throttling is done |
| dynamically on an algorithm loosely based on CoDel, factoring in |
| the realtime performance of the disk. |
| |
| config BLK_WBT_MQ |

| help |
| Enabling this option enables the .latency interface for IO throttling. |
| The IO controller will attempt to maintain average IO latencies below |
| the configured latency target, throttling anybody with a higher latency |
| target than the victimized group. |
| |
| Note, this is an experimental interface and could be changed someday. |

| config BLK_CGROUP_FC_APPID |
| bool "Enable support to track FC I/O Traffic across cgroup applications" |
| depends on BLK_CGROUP && NVME_FC |
| help |
| Enabling this option enables the support to track FC I/O traffic across |
| cgroup applications. It enables the Fabric and the storage targets to |
| identify, monitor, and handle FC traffic based on VM tags by inserting |
| application specific identification into the FC frame. |
| |
| config BLK_CGROUP_IOCOST |
| bool "Enable support for cost model based cgroup IO controller" |
| depends on BLK_CGROUP |
| select BLK_RQ_ALLOC_TIME |

| Enabling this option enables the .weight interface for cost |
| model based proportional IO control. The IO controller |
| distributes IO capacity between different groups based on |
| their share of the overall weight distribution. |

| help |
| Enable the .prio interface for assigning an I/O priority class to |
| requests. The I/O priority class affects the order in which an I/O |
| scheduler and block devices process requests. Only some I/O schedulers |
| and some block devices support I/O priorities. |
