[PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6] Make it possible to disable the block layer. Not all embedded devices require it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require the block layer to be present. This patch does the following: (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev support. (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls an item that uses the block layer. This includes: (*) Block I/O tracing. (*) Disk partition code. (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS. (*) The SCSI layer. As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the block layer to do scheduling. Some drivers that use SCSI facilities - such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this. (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM drivers. (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL. (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book. (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set. sector_div() is, however, still used in places, and so is still available. (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and parts of linux/fs.h. (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK is not enabled. (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set: (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening). (*) Makes some /proc changes: (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs. (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified. (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined. This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2. (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so). (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

if BLOCK
menu "IO Schedulers"
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_ROW
tristate "ROW I/O scheduler"
default y
---help---
The ROW I/O scheduler gives priority to READ requests over the
WRITE requests when dispatching, without starving WRITE requests.
Requests are kept in priority queues. Dispatching is done in a RR
manner when the dispatch quantum for each queue is calculated
according to queue priority.
Most suitable for mobile devices.
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 n
---help---
The BFQ I/O scheduler tries to distribute bandwidth among
all processes according to their weights.
It 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. If compiled built-in (saying Y here), BFQ can
be configured to support hierarchical scheduling.
config CGROUP_BFQIO
bool "BFQ hierarchical scheduling support"
depends on CGROUPS && IOSCHED_BFQ=y
default n
---help---
Enable hierarchical scheduling in BFQ, using the cgroups
filesystem interface. The name of the subsystem will be
bfqio.
choice
prompt "Default I/O scheduler"

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_ROW
bool "ROW" if IOSCHED_ROW=y
help
The ROW I/O scheduler gives priority to READ requests
over the WRITE requests when dispatching, without starving
WRITE requests. Requests are kept in priority queues.
Dispatching is done in a RR manner when the dispatch quantum
for each queue is defined according to queue priority.
Most suitable for mobile devices.

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.
