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

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.
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.

There is an exception to the above. If hotplug functionality is used
to remove all the CPUs that are currently assigned to a cpuset,
then all the tasks in that cpuset will be moved to the nearest ancestor
with non-empty cpus. But the moving of some (or all) tasks might fail if
cpuset is bound with another cgroup subsystem which has some restrictions
on task attaching. In this failing case, those tasks will stay
in the original cpuset, and the kernel will automatically update
their cpus_allowed to allow all online CPUs. When memory hotplug
functionality for removing Memory Nodes is available, a similar exception
is expected to apply there as well. In general, the kernel prefers to
violate cpuset placement, over starving a task that has had all
its allowed CPUs or Memory Nodes taken offline.

What: old static regulatory information and ieee80211_regdom module parameter
When: 2.6.29
Why: The old regulatory infrastructure has been replaced with a new one
which does not require statically defined regulatory domains. We do
not want to keep static regulatory domains in the kernel due to the
the dynamic nature of regulatory law and localization. We kept around
the old static definitions for the regulatory domains of:
* US
* JP
* EU
and used by default the US when CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY was
set. We also kept around the ieee80211_regdom module parameter in case
some applications were relying on it. Changing regulatory domains
can now be done instead by using nl80211, as is done with iw.
