cfq-iosched: Implement a tunable group_idle
Vivek Goyal <vgoyal(a)redhat.com> writes: o Implement a new tunable group_idle, which allows idling on the group instead of a cfq queue. Hence one can set slice_idle = 0 and not idle on the individual queues but idle on the group. This way on fast storage we can get fairness between groups at the same... 21 Jul 2010 18:02

[PATCH 1/3] DMAENGINE: generic slave channel control v2
This adds an interface to the DMAengine to make it possible to reconfigure a slave channel at runtime. We add a few foreseen config parameters to the passed struct, with a void * pointer for custom per-device or per-platform runtime slave data.

[RFC PATCH] cfq-iosced: Implement IOPS mode and group_idle tunable V3
Hi, This is V3 of the group_idle and CFQ IOPS mode implementation patchset. Since V2 I have cleaned up the code a bit to clarify the confusion lingering around in what cases do we charge time slice and in what cases do we charge number of requests. What's the problem ------------------ On high end storage ... 21 Jul 2010 15:49

[PATCH 1/3] cfq-iosched: Implment IOPS mode
o Implement another CFQ mode where we charge queue/group in terms of number of requests dispatched instead of measuring the time. Measuring in terms of time is not possible when we are driving deeper queue depths and there are requests from multiple cfq queues in the request queue. o This mode currently get... 21 Jul 2010 15:49
