-CFQ (Complete Fairness Queueing)
-===============================

-I/O bandwidth for all the processes which requests an I/O operation.
-
-CFQ maintains the per process queue for the processes which request I/O
-operation(syncronous requests). In case of asynchronous requests, all the
-requests from all the processes are batched together according to their
-process's I/O priority.

-back_seek_max
--------------
-This specifies, given in Kbytes, the maximum "distance" for backward seeking.
-The distance is the amount of space from the current head location to the
-sectors that are backward in terms of distance.
-
-This parameter allows the scheduler to anticipate requests in the "backward"
-direction and consider them as being the "next" if they are within this
-distance from the current head location.
-
-back_seek_penalty
------------------
-This parameter is used to compute the cost of backward seeking. If the
-backward distance of request is just 1/back_seek_penalty from a "front"
-request, then the seeking cost of two requests is considered equivalent.
-
-So scheduler will not bias toward one or the other request (otherwise scheduler
-will bias toward front request). Default value of back_seek_penalty is 2.
-
-fifo_expire_async
------------------
-This parameter is used to set the timeout of asynchronous requests. Default
-value of this is 248ms.
-
-fifo_expire_sync
-----------------
-This parameter is used to set the timeout of synchronous requests. Default
-value of this is 124ms. In case to favor synchronous requests over asynchronous
-one, this value should be decreased relative to fifo_expire_async.
-
-slice_async
------------
-This parameter is same as of slice_sync but for asynchronous queue. The
-default value is 40ms.
-
-slice_async_rq
---------------
-This parameter is used to limit the dispatching of asynchronous request to
-device request queue in queue's slice time. The maximum number of request that
-are allowed to be dispatched also depends upon the io priority. Default value
-for this is 2.
-
-slice_sync
-----------
-When a queue is selected for execution, the queues IO requests are only
-executed for a certain amount of time(time_slice) before switching to another
-queue. This parameter is used to calculate the time slice of synchronous
-queue.
-
-time_slice is computed using the below equation:-
-time_slice = slice_sync + (slice_sync/5 * (4 - prio)). To increase the
-time_slice of synchronous queue, increase the value of slice_sync. Default
-value is 100ms.
-
-quantum
--------
-This specifies the number of request dispatched to the device queue. In a
-queue's time slice, a request will not be dispatched if the number of request
-in the device exceeds this parameter. This parameter is used for synchronous
-request.
-
-In case of storage with several disk, this setting can limit the parallel
-processing of request. Therefore, increasing the value can imporve the
-performace although this can cause the latency of some I/O to increase due
-to more number of requests.
