ioprio_get(2) outdated

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

 



Hi,
please update ioprio_get(2) to the today more common Multi-Queue Block IO Queueing Mechanism (blk-mq). In particular:

These system calls have an effect only when used in conjunction
with an I/O scheduler that supports I/O priorities.  As at kernel
2.6.17 the only such scheduler is the Completely Fair Queuing
(CFQ) I/O scheduler.

As far as I know BFQ is the only mq-iosched which supports (read-) priorities. See also [1]. The kernel Documentation/block/ioprio.txt is outdated as well, I guess I'll send an email there too.

Thanks and kind regards
Tycho Kirchner
