The term "bio" is well-established in the kernel and here we have a new definition for the same term: "block I/O". "bio" was a fine term for you to have chosen from the user's perspective, but from the kernel developer perspective it is quite horrid. The patch adds a vast number of new symbols all into the existing "bio_" namespace, many of which aren't related to `struct bio' at all. At least, I think that's what's happening. Perhaps the controller really _is_ designed to track `struct bio'? If so, that's an odd thing to tell userspace about. > The controller bio-cgroup is used by io-throttle to track writeback IO > and for properly apply throttling. Presumably it tracks all forms of block-based I/O and not just delayed writeback. _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
