  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.

  34           Enable block devices or files of size 2TB and larger.
  35
  36           This option is required to support the full capacity of large
  37           (2TB+) block devices, including RAID, disk, Network Block Device,
  38           Logical Volume Manager (LVM) and loopback.
  39
  40           This option also enables support for single files larger than
  41           2TB.
  42
  43           The ext4 filesystem requires that this feature be enabled in
  44           order to support filesystems that have the huge_file feature
  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.
  48
  49           The GFS2 filesystem also requires this feature.

  62           for any block device.
  63
  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).
  69
  70           This option is required by recent UDEV versions to properly
  71           access device serial numbers, etc.

  90         Some storage devices allow extra information to be
  91         stored/retrieved to help protect the data.  The block layer
  92         data integrity option provides hooks which can be used by
  93         filesystems to ensure better data integrity.
  94
  95         Say yes here if you have a storage device that provides the
  96         T10/SCSI Data Integrity Field or the T13/ATA External Path
  97         Protection.  If in doubt, say N.

 103         support for ZAC/ZBC host-managed and host-aware zoned block devices.

 111         ---help---
 112         Block layer bio throttling support. It can be used to limit
 113         the IO rate to a device. IO rate policies are per cgroup and
 114         one needs to mount and use blkio cgroup controller for creating
 115         cgroups and specifying per device IO rate policies.
 116
 117         See Documentation/cgroups/blkio-controller.txt for more information.

 123         ---help---
 124         Add .low limit interface for block throttling. The low limit is a best
 125         effort limit to prioritize cgroups. Depending on the setting, the limit
 126         can be used to protect cgroups in terms of bandwidth/iops and better
 127         utilize disk resource.
 128
 129         Note, this is an experimental interface and could be changed someday.

 133         default n
 134         ---help---
 135         Enabling this option allows you to specify the partition layout from
 136         the kernel boot args.  This is typically of use for embedded devices
 137         which don't otherwise have any standardized method for listing the
 138         partitions on a block device.
 139

 143         bool "Enable support for block device writeback throttling"
 144         default n
 145         ---help---
 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
 150         the realtime performance of the disk.

 163         ---help---
 164         Enable writeback throttling by default on multiqueue devices.
 165         Multiqueue currently doesn't have support for IO scheduling,
 166         enabling this option is recommended.

 172         ---help---
 173         Include block layer debugging information in debugfs. This information
 174         is mostly useful for kernel developers, but it doesn't incur any cost
 175         at runtime.
 176
 177         Unless you are building a kernel for a tiny system, you should
 178         say Y here.

 184         Enabling this option enables users to setup/unlock/lock
 185         Locking ranges for SED devices using the Opal protocol.
