if BLOCK menu "IO Schedulers" config IOSCHED_NOOP bool default y ---help--- The no-op I/O scheduler is a minimal scheduler that does basic merging and sorting. Its main uses include non-disk based block devices like memory devices, and specialised software or hardware environments that do their own scheduling and require only minimal assistance from the kernel. config IOSCHED_DEADLINE tristate "Deadline I/O scheduler" default y ---help--- The deadline I/O scheduler is simple and compact. It will provide CSCAN service with FIFO expiration of requests, switching to a new point in the service tree and doing a batch of IO from there in case of expiry. config IOSCHED_CFQ tristate "CFQ I/O scheduler" default y ---help--- The CFQ I/O scheduler tries to distribute bandwidth equally among all processes in the system. It should provide a fair and low latency working environment, suitable for both desktop and server systems. This is the default I/O scheduler. config CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED bool "CFQ Group Scheduling support" depends on IOSCHED_CFQ && BLK_CGROUP default n ---help--- Enable group IO scheduling in CFQ. config IOSCHED_BFQ tristate "BFQ I/O scheduler" default n ---help--- The BFQ I/O scheduler tries to distribute bandwidth among all processes according to their weights. It aims at distributing the bandwidth as desired, independently of the disk parameters and with any workload. It also tries to guarantee low latency to interactive and soft real-time applications. If compiled built-in (saying Y here), BFQ can be configured to support hierarchical scheduling. config BFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED bool "BFQ hierarchical scheduling support" depends on IOSCHED_BFQ && BLK_CGROUP default n ---help--- Enable hierarchical scheduling in BFQ, using the blkio controller. choice prompt "Default I/O scheduler" default DEFAULT_CFQ help Select the I/O scheduler which will be used by default for all block devices. config DEFAULT_DEADLINE bool "Deadline" if IOSCHED_DEADLINE=y config DEFAULT_CFQ bool "CFQ" if IOSCHED_CFQ=y config DEFAULT_BFQ bool "BFQ" if IOSCHED_BFQ=y help Selects BFQ as the default I/O scheduler which will be used by default for all block devices. The BFQ I/O scheduler aims at distributing the bandwidth as desired, independently of the disk parameters and with any workload. It also tries to guarantee low latency to interactive and soft real-time applications. config DEFAULT_NOOP bool "No-op" endchoice config DEFAULT_IOSCHED string default "deadline" if DEFAULT_DEADLINE default "cfq" if DEFAULT_CFQ default "bfq" if DEFAULT_BFQ default "noop" if DEFAULT_NOOP endmenu endif
