11 Provide block layer support for the kernel.
12
13 Disable this option to remove the block layer support from the
14 kernel. This may be useful for embedded devices.
15
16 If this option is disabled:
17
18 - block device files will become unusable
19 - some filesystems (such as ext3) will become unavailable.
20
21 Also, SCSI character devices and USB storage will be disabled since
22 they make use of various block layer definitions and facilities.
23

25 suchlike.

43 Saying Y here will enable generic SG (SCSI generic) v4 support
44 for any block device.
45
46 Unlike SG v3 (aka block/scsi_ioctl.c drivers/scsi/sg.c), SG v4
47 can handle complicated SCSI commands: tagged variable length cdbs
48 with bidirectional data transfers and generic request/response
49 protocols (e.g. Task Management Functions and SMP in Serial
50 Attached SCSI).
51
52 This option is required by recent UDEV versions to properly
53 access device serial numbers, etc.

71 stored/retrieved to help protect the data. The block layer
72 data integrity option provides hooks which can be used by
73 filesystems to ensure better data integrity.

94 bool "Block layer bio throttling support"

96 select BLK_CGROUP_RWSTAT
97 ---help---
98 Block layer bio throttling support. It can be used to limit
99 the IO rate to a device. IO rate policies are per cgroup and
100 one needs to mount and use blkio cgroup controller for creating
101 cgroups and specifying per device IO rate policies.
102
103 See Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v1/blkio-controller.rst for more information.

105 config BLK_DEV_THROTTLING_LOW
106 bool "Block throttling .low limit interface support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
107 depends on BLK_DEV_THROTTLING
108 ---help---
109 Add .low limit interface for block throttling. The low limit is a best
110 effort limit to prioritize cgroups. Depending on the setting, the limit
111 can be used to protect cgroups in terms of bandwidth/iops and better
112 utilize disk resource.
113
114 Note, this is an experimental interface and could be changed someday.
115
116 config BLK_CMDLINE_PARSER
117 bool "Block device command line partition parser"
118 ---help---
119 Enabling this option allows you to specify the partition layout from
120 the kernel boot args. This is typically of use for embedded devices
121 which don't otherwise have any standardized method for listing the
122 partitions on a block device.
123
124 See Documentation/block/cmdline-partition.rst for more information.
125
126 config BLK_WBT
127 bool "Enable support for block device writeback throttling"
128 ---help---
129 Enabling this option enables the block layer to throttle buffered
130 background writeback from the VM, making it more smooth and having
131 less impact on foreground operations. The throttling is done
132 dynamically on an algorithm loosely based on CoDel, factoring in
133 the realtime performance of the disk.

135 config BLK_CGROUP_IOLATENCY
136 bool "Enable support for latency based cgroup IO protection"
137 depends on BLK_CGROUP=y
138 ---help---
139 Enabling this option enables the .latency interface for IO throttling.
140 The IO controller will attempt to maintain average IO latencies below
141 the configured latency target, throttling anybody with a higher latency
142 target than the victimized group.
143
144 Note, this is an experimental interface and could be changed someday.

152 Enabling this option enables the .weight interface for cost
153 model based proportional IO control. The IO controller
154 distributes IO capacity between different groups based on
155 their share of the overall weight distribution.

164 enabling this option is recommended.

171 Include block layer debugging information in debugfs. This information
172 is mostly useful for kernel developers, but it doesn't incur any cost
173 at runtime.
174
175 Unless you are building a kernel for a tiny system, you should
176 say Y here.
