[PATCH 1/3] docs: block/bfq: describe per-device weight

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

 



The functionality of setting per-device weight for BFQ was added
in v5.4 (commit 795fe54c2a828099), but the documentation was never
updated.

While at it, improve formatting a bit.

-Parameters to set
------------------
+Parameters
+----------
 
-For each group, there is only the following parameter to set.
+For each group, the following parameters cat be set:
 
-weight (namely blkio.bfq.weight or io.bfq-weight): the weight of the
-group inside its parent. Available values: 1..1000 (default 100). The
-linear mapping between ioprio and weights, described at the beginning
-of the tunable section, is still valid, but all weights higher than
-IOPRIO_BE_NR*10 are mapped to ioprio 0.
+  weight
+        This specifies the default weight for the cgroup inside its parent.
+        Available values: 1..1000 (default: 100).
 
-Recall that, if low-latency is set, then BFQ automatically raises the
-weight of the queues associated with interactive and soft real-time
-applications. Unset this tunable if you need/want to control weights.
+        For cgroup v1, it is set by writing the value to `blkio.bfq.weight`.
+
+        For cgroup v2, it is set by writing the value to `io.bfq.weight`.
+        (with an optional prefix of `default` and a space).
+
+        The linear mapping between ioprio and weights, described at the beginning
+        of the tunable section, is still valid, but all weights higher than
+        IOPRIO_BE_NR*10 are mapped to ioprio 0.

+
+  weight_device
+        This specifies a per-device weight for the cgroup. The syntax is
+        `minor:major weight`. A weight of `0` may be used to reset to the default
+        weight.
+
+        For cgroup v1, it is set by writing the value to `blkio.bfq.weight_device`.
+
+        For cgroup v2, the file name is `io.bfq.weight`.
