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 y
	---help---
	The BFQ I/O scheduler distributes bandwidth among all
	processes according to their weights, regardless of the
	device parameters and with any workload. It also guarantees
	a low latency to interactive and soft real-time applications.

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_BFQ
	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"
