Short version: Yep, so far in 4.20 there is neither a CONFIG_DEFAULT_BFQ or CONFIG_DEFAULT_IOSCHED="bfq" near as I can tell. Maybe it's different for 4.21. I used two boot params: scsi_mod.use_blk_mq=1 elevator=bfq. I don't think that's a good way for a distribution to set the default though. Icky version: I set the following in /etc/default/grub and then ran grub2-mkconfig (not on Rawhide!) GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="scsi_mod.use_blk_mq=1 elevator=bfq zswap.enabled=1 zswap.max_pool_percent=25 zswap.compressor=lz4" I also created /etc/dracut.conf.d/bfq.conf containing: add_drivers+=" bfq " yes, with spaces, and rebuilt the initramfs But upon reboot, total implosion. Piles of USB errors and disconnects (the boot device is a Samsung FIT USB stick which fits flush in an Intel NUC). I didn't have time to troubleshoot what's causing this problem, other than to plug the USB stick into another computer to verify the stick is good and hasn't been corrupted. It's possibly related the mq-blk bug in 4.19.0 through 4.19.7 - so I've since upgraded to 4.19.8 which as those patches, but I haven't had a chance to retest. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
