  11
  12          Disable this option to remove the block layer support from the
  13          kernel. This may be useful for embedded devices.
  14
  15          If this option is disabled:
  16
  17            - block device files will become unusable
  18            - some filesystems (such as ext3) will become unavailable.
  19
  20          Also, SCSI character devices and USB storage will be disabled since
  21          they make use of various block layer definitions and facilities.
  22
  23          Say Y here unless you know you really don't want to mount disks and
  24          suchlike.

  32         help
  33           Enable block devices or files of size 2TB and larger.
  34
  35           This option is required to support the full capacity of large
  36           (2TB+) block devices, including RAID, disk, Network Block Device,
  37           Logical Volume Manager (LVM) and loopback.
  38
  39           This option also enables support for single files larger than
  40           2TB.
  41
  42           The ext4 filesystem requires that this feature be enabled in
  43           order to support filesystems that have the huge_file feature
  44           enabled.  Otherwise, it will refuse to mount in the read-write
  45           mode any filesystems that use the huge_file feature, which is
  46           enabled by default by mke2fs.ext4.
  47
  48           The GFS2 filesystem also requires this feature.
  49
  50           If unsure, say Y.

  60           Saying Y here will enable generic SG (SCSI generic) v4 support
  61           for any block device.
  62
  63           Unlike SG v3 (aka block/scsi_ioctl.c drivers/scsi/sg.c), SG v4
  64           can handle complicated SCSI commands: tagged variable length cdbs
  65           with bidirectional data transfers and generic request/response
  66           protocols (e.g. Task Management Functions and SMP in Serial
  67           Attached SCSI).
  68
  69           This option is required by recent UDEV versions to properly
  70           access device serial numbers, etc.
  71
  72           If unsure, say Y.

  80           Subsystems will normally enable this if needed. Users will not
  81           normally need to manually enable this.

  88         ---help---
  89         Some storage devices allow extra information to be
  90         stored/retrieved to help protect the data.  The block layer
  91         data integrity option provides hooks which can be used by
  92         filesystems to ensure better data integrity.
  93
  94         Say yes here if you have a storage device that provides the
  95         T10/SCSI Data Integrity Field or the T13/ATA External Path
  96         Protection.  If in doubt, say N.
  97
  98 config BLK_DEV_ZONED
  99         bool "Zoned block device support"
 100         ---help---
 101         Block layer zoned block device support. This option enables
 102         support for ZAC/ZBC host-managed and host-aware zoned block devices.
 103
 104         Say yes here if you have a ZAC or ZBC storage device.

 108         depends on BLK_CGROUP=y
 109         default n
 110         ---help---
 111         Block layer bio throttling support. It can be used to limit
 112         the IO rate to a device. IO rate policies are per cgroup and
 113         one needs to mount and use blkio cgroup controller for creating
 114         cgroups and specifying per device IO rate policies.
 115
 116         See Documentation/cgroups/blkio-controller.txt for more information.
 117
 118 config BLK_CMDLINE_PARSER
 119         bool "Block device command line partition parser"
 120         default n
 121         ---help---
 122         Enabling this option allows you to specify the partition layout from
 123         the kernel boot args.  This is typically of use for embedded devices
 124         which don't otherwise have any standardized method for listing the
 125         partitions on a block device.
 126
 127         See Documentation/block/cmdline-partition.txt for more information.

 129 config BLK_WBT
 130         bool "Enable support for block device writeback throttling"
 131         default n
 132         ---help---
 133         Enabling this option enables the block layer to throttle buffered
 134         background writeback from the VM, making it more smooth and having
 135         less impact on foreground operations. The throttling is done
 136         dynamically on an algorithm loosely based on CoDel, factoring in
 137         the realtime performance of the disk.
 138
 139 config BLK_WBT_SQ

 146 config BLK_WBT_MQ
 147         bool "Multiqueue writeback throttling"
 148         default y
 149         depends on BLK_WBT
 150         ---help---
 151         Enable writeback throttling by default on multiqueue devices.
 152         Multiqueue currently doesn't have support for IO scheduling,
 153         enabling this option is recommended.
 154
 155 config BLK_DEBUG_FS
 156         bool "Block layer debugging information in debugfs"
 157         default y
 158         depends on DEBUG_FS
 159         ---help---
 160         Include block layer debugging information in debugfs. This information
 161         is mostly useful for kernel developers, but it doesn't incur any cost
 162         at runtime.
 163
 164         Unless you are building a kernel for a tiny system, you should
 165         say Y here.
 166
 167 config BLK_SED_OPAL
 168         bool "Logic for interfacing with Opal enabled SEDs"
 169         ---help---
 170         Builds Logic for interfacing with Opal enabled controllers.
 171         Enabling this option enables users to setup/unlock/lock
 172         Locking ranges for SED devices using the Opal protocol.
