* Whenever SVE scalable register values (Zn, Pn, FFR) are exchanged in memory
between userspace and the kernel, the register value is encoded in memory in
an endianness-invariant layout, with bits [(8 * i + 7) : (8 * i)] encoded at
byte offset i from the start of the memory representation. This affects for
example the signal frame (struct sve_context) and ptrace interface
(struct user_sve_header) and associated data.

Beware that on big-endian systems this results in a different byte order than
for the FPSIMD V-registers, which are stored as single host-endian 128-bit
values, with bits [(127 - 8 * i) : (120 - 8 * i)] of the register encoded at

Plan is to use the same cgroup based management interface for blkio controller
and based on user options switch IO policies in the background.

Currently two IO control policies are implemented. First one is proportional
weight time based division of disk policy. It is implemented in CFQ. Hence
this policy takes effect only on leaf nodes when CFQ is being used. The second
one is throttling policy which can be used to specify upper IO rate limits
on devices. This policy is implemented in generic block layer and can be
used on leaf nodes as well as higher level logical devices like device mapper.

HOWTO
=====
Proportional Weight division of bandwidth
-----------------------------------------
You can do a very simple testing of running two dd threads in two different
cgroups. Here is what you can do.

- Enable Block IO controller
CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP=y

- Enable group scheduling in CFQ
CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED=y

- Compile and boot into kernel and mount IO controller (blkio); see
cgroups.txt, Why are cgroups needed?.

mount -t tmpfs cgroup_root /sys/fs/cgroup
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio
mount -t cgroup -o blkio none /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio

- Create two cgroups
mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/test1/ /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/test2

- Set weights of group test1 and test2
echo 1000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/test1/blkio.weight
echo 500 > /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/test2/blkio.weight

- Create two same size files (say 512MB each) on same disk (file1, file2) and
launch two dd threads in different cgroup to read those files.

sync
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

dd if=/mnt/sdb/zerofile1 of=/dev/null &
echo $! > /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/test1/tasks
cat /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/test1/tasks

dd if=/mnt/sdb/zerofile2 of=/dev/null &
echo $! > /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/test2/tasks
cat /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/test2/tasks

- At macro level, first dd should finish first. To get more precise data, keep
on looking at (with the help of script), at blkio.disk_time and
blkio.disk_sectors files of both test1 and test2 groups. This will tell how
much disk time (in milliseconds), each group got and how many sectors each
group dispatched to the disk. We provide fairness in terms of disk time, so
ideally io.disk_time of cgroups should be in proportion to the weight.

CFQ sysfs tunable
=================
/sys/block/<disk>/queue/iosched/slice_idle
------------------------------------------
On a faster hardware CFQ can be slow, especially with sequential workload.
This happens because CFQ idles on a single queue and single queue might not
drive deeper request queue depths to keep the storage busy. In such scenarios
one can try setting slice_idle=0 and that would switch CFQ to IOPS
(IO operations per second) mode on NCQ supporting hardware.

That means CFQ will not idle between cfq queues of a cfq group and hence be
able to driver higher queue depth and achieve better throughput. That also
means that cfq provides fairness among groups in terms of IOPS and not in
terms of disk time.

/sys/block/<disk>/queue/iosched/group_idle
------------------------------------------
If one disables idling on individual cfq queues and cfq service trees by
setting slice_idle=0, group_idle kicks in. That means CFQ will still idle
on the group in an attempt to provide fairness among groups.

By default group_idle is same as slice_idle and does not do anything if
slice_idle is enabled.

One can experience an overall throughput drop if you have created multiple
groups and put applications in that group which are not driving enough
IO to keep disk busy. In that case set group_idle=0, and CFQ will not idle
on individual groups and throughput should improve.
