From: Kir Kolyshkin Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2021 03:07:37 +0000 (-0700) Subject: docs/cgroup-v1/blkio: update for 5.x kernels X-Git-Tag: microblaze-v5.15~129^2~40 X-Git-Url: http://git.monstr.eu/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=828615950b5876e75587fdd5e9d1185be9cabba7;p=linux-2.6-microblaze.git docs/cgroup-v1/blkio: update for 5.x kernels Commit bf382fb0bcef4 ("block: remove legacy IO schedulers", Oct 12 2018) removes the CFQ scheduler, together with blkio.weight and blkio.weight_device described in cgroup v1 documentation. Users are supposed to use the BFQ scheduler, which cgroup file for setting weight is blkio.bfq.weight, but there is no way to set per-device weight. Later, commit 795fe54c2a8 per-device weights for BFQ, meaning that blkio.bfq.weight and blkio.bfq.weight_device can be used in a way similar to the old CFQ cgroup interface. Yet, the cgroup v1 docs were never updated. Fix this: - use the new file names; - fix the range for weight (used to be 10..1000, now 1..1000); - link to BFQ scheduler docs.
