1059 Generic block IO controller cgroup interface. This is the common
1060 cgroup interface which should be used by various IO controlling
1061 policies.
1062
1063 Currently, CFQ IO scheduler uses it to recognize task groups and
1064 control disk bandwidth allocation (proportional time slice allocation)
Vivek Goyale43473b2010-09-15 17:06:35 -04001065 to such task groups. It is also used by bio throttling logic in
1066 block layer to implement upper limit in IO rates on a device.

1068 This option only enables generic Block IO controller infrastructure.
Vivek Goyale43473b2010-09-15 17:06:35 -04001069 One needs to also enable actual IO controlling logic/policy. For

1725 This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
1726 kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
1727 without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
1728 rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.

1734 Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
1735 Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
1736 compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
1737 to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
1738 make them incompatible with the kernel you are running. If

1744 Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
1745 field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1746 sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
1747 see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1748 others sometimes change the module source without updating
1749 the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
1750 will be created for all modules. If unsure, say N.
