9 The no-op I/O scheduler is a minimal scheduler that does basic merging
10 and sorting. Its main uses include non-disk based block devices like
11 memory devices, and specialised software or hardware environments
12 that do their own scheduling and require only minimal assistance from
13 the kernel.

Jesper Juhla8e14b92007-02-17 20:08:22 +010019 The anticipatory I/O scheduler is generally a good choice for most
20 environments, but is quite large and complex when compared to the
21 deadline I/O scheduler, it can also be slower in some cases
22 especially some database loads.

25 tristate "Deadline I/O scheduler"
26 default y
27 ---help---
28 The deadline I/O scheduler is simple and compact, and is often as
29 good as the anticipatory I/O scheduler, and in some database
30 workloads, better. In the case of a single process performing I/O to
31 a disk at any one time, its behaviour is almost identical to the
32 anticipatory I/O scheduler and so is a good choice.

34config IOSCHED_CFQ

36 default y
37 ---help---
38 The CFQ I/O scheduler tries to distribute bandwidth equally
39 among all processes in the system. It should provide a fair
40 working environment, suitable for desktop systems.
Jesper Juhla8e14b92007-02-17 20:08:22 +010041 This is the default I/O scheduler.
