| 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. |

| 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. |

| config BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED |
| bool "Allow writing to mounted block devices" |
| default y |
| help |
| When a block device is mounted, writing to its buffer cache is very |
| likely going to cause filesystem corruption. It is also rather easy to |
| crash the kernel in this way since the filesystem has no practical way |
| of detecting these writes to buffer cache and verifying its metadata |
| integrity. However there are some setups that need this capability |
| like running fsck on read-only mounted root device, modifying some |
| features on mounted ext4 filesystem, and similar. If you say N, the |
| kernel will prevent processes from writing to block devices that are |
| mounted by filesystems which provides some more protection from runaway |
| privileged processes and generally makes it much harder to crash |
| filesystem drivers. Note however that this does not prevent |
| underlying device(s) from being modified by other means, e.g. by |
| directly submitting SCSI commands or through access to lower layers of |
| storage stack. If in doubt, say Y. The configuration can be overridden |
| with the bdev_allow_write_mounted boot option. |

| 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_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_CGROUP_IOLATENCY |
| bool "Enable support for latency based cgroup IO protection" |
| depends on BLK_CGROUP |
| 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 |

| 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. |

| scheduler and block devices process requests. Only some I/O schedulers |
| and some block devices support I/O priorities. |
