| 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. |

| 20 | The test I/O scheduler is a duplicate of the noop scheduler with |
| 21 | addition of test utlity. |
| 22 | It allows testing a block device by dispatching specific requests |
| 23 | according to the test case and declare PASS/FAIL according to the |
| 24 | requests completion error code. |

Jens Axboe | 492af63 | 2009-10-03 09:37:51 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 30 | The deadline I/O scheduler is simple and compact. It will provide |
| 31 | CSCAN service with FIFO expiration of requests, switching to |
| 32 | a new point in the service tree and doing a batch of IO from there |
| 33 | in case of expiry. |

| 37 | default y |
| 38 | ---help--- |
| 39 | The ROW I/O scheduler gives priority to READ requests over the |
| 40 | WRITE requests when dispatching, without starving WRITE requests. |
| 41 | Requests are kept in priority queues. Dispatching is done in a RR |
| 42 | manner when the dispatch quantum for each queue is calculated |
| 43 | according to queue priority. |
| 44 | Most suitable for mobile devices. |
