13 | Disable this option to remove the block layer support from the |
14 | kernel. This may be useful for embedded devices. | |
15 | ||
16 | If this option is disabled: | |
17 | ||
18 | - block device files will become unusable | |
19 | - some filesystems (such as ext3) will become unavailable. | |
20 | ||
21 | Also, SCSI character devices and USB storage will be disabled since | |
22 | they make use of various block layer definitions and facilities. | |

43 | The ext4 filesystem requires that this feature be enabled in |
44 | order to support filesystems that have the huge_file feature | |
db29a6b4 BZ |
45 | enabled. Otherwise, it will refuse to mount in the read-write |
46 | mode any filesystems that use the huge_file feature, which is | |
47 | enabled by default by mke2fs.ext4. | |

64 | Unlike SG v3 (aka block/scsi_ioctl.c drivers/scsi/sg.c), SG v4 | |
65 | can handle complicated SCSI commands: tagged variable length cdbs | |
66 | with bidirectional data transfers and generic request/response | |
67 | protocols (e.g. Task Management Functions and SMP in Serial | |
68 | Attached SCSI). | |

146 | Enabling this option enables the block layer to throttle buffered | |
147 | background writeback from the VM, making it more smooth and having | |
148 | less impact on foreground operations. The throttling is done | |
149 | dynamically on an algorithm loosely based on CoDel, factoring in | |
