[PATCH RFC v2 7/7] blk-iocost: support to build iocost as kernel module

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx>

The motivation is that iocost is not used widely in our production, and
some customers don't want to increase kernel size to enable iocost that
they will never use, and it'll be painful to maintain a new downstream
kernel version. Hence it'll be beneficially to build iocost as kernel
module:

- Kernel Size and Resource Usage, modules are loaded only when their
specific functionality is required.

- Flexibility and Maintainability, allows for dynamic loading and unloading
of modules at runtime without the need to recompile and restart the kernel,
for example we can just replace blk-iocost.ko to fix iocost CVE in our
production environment.
