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_TEST
tristate "Test I/O scheduler"
depends on DEBUG_FS
default m
---help---
The test I/O scheduler is a duplicate of the noop scheduler with
addition of test utlity.
It allows testing a block device by dispatching specific requests
according to the test case and declare PASS/FAIL according to the
requests completion error code.
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"
# If BLK_CGROUP is a module, CFQ has to be built as module.
depends on (BLK_CGROUP=m && m) || !BLK_CGROUP || BLK_CGROUP=y
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.
Note: If BLK_CGROUP=m, then CFQ can be built only as module.
config CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED
bool "CFQ Group Scheduling support"
depends on IOSCHED_CFQ && BLK_CGROUP
default n
---help---
Enable group IO scheduling in CFQ.

block devices.
