If you want to use SELinux, chances are you will want
to use the distro-provided policies, or install the
latest reference policy release from
http://oss.tresys.com/projects/refpolicy

However, if you want to install a dummy policy for
testing, you can do using 'mdp' provided under
scripts/selinux. Note that this requires the selinux
userspace to be installed - in particular you will
need checkpolicy to compile a kernel, and setfiles and
fixfiles to label the filesystem.

1. Compile the kernel with selinux enabled.
2. Type 'make' to compile mdp.
3. Make sure that you are not running with
SELinux enabled and a real policy. If
you are, reboot with selinux disabled
before continuing.
4. Run install_policy.sh:
cd scripts/selinux
sh install_policy.sh

Step 4 will create a new dummy policy valid for your
kernel, with a single selinux user, role, and type.
It will compile the policy, will set your SELINUXTYPE to
dummy in /etc/selinux/config, install the compiled policy
as 'dummy', and relabel your filesystem.

fifo_batch
fifo_batch (number of requests)
----------

When a read request expires its deadline, we must move some requests from
the sorted io scheduler list to the block device dispatch queue. fifo_batch
controls how many requests we move.
Requests are grouped into ``batches'' of a particular data direction (read or
write) which are serviced in increasing sector order. To limit extra seeking,
deadline expiries are only checked between batches. fifo_batch controls the
maximum number of requests per batch.

This parameter tunes the balance between per-request latency and aggregate
throughput. When low latency is the primary concern, smaller is better (where
a value of 1 yields first-come first-served behaviour). Increasing fifo_batch
generally improves throughput, at the cost of latency variation.

disappears and then reappears, it will then be ignored. To make
known devices go away, you need the "purge" command (see below).

For example,
"echo add 0.0.a000-0.0.accc, 0.0.af00-0.0.afff > /proc/cio_ignore"
will add 0.0.a000-0.0.accc and 0.0.af00-0.0.afff to the list of ignored
devices.

You can remove already known but now ignored devices via
"echo purge > /proc/cio_ignore"
All devices ignored but still registered and not online (= not in use)
will be deregistered and thus removed from the system.

The devices can be specified either by bus id (0.x.abcd) or, for 2.4 backward
compatibility, by the device number in hexadecimal (0xabcd or abcd). Device
numbers given as 0xabcd will be interpreted as 0.0.abcd.
