+CFQ (Complete Fairness Queueing)
+===============================
+
+The main aim of CFQ scheduler is to provide a fair allocation of the disk
+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.

 Basic CFQ design is to provide priority based time slices. Higher priority

-What:	fakephp and associated sysfs files in /sys/bus/pci/slots/
-When:	2011
-Why:	In 2.6.27, the semantics of /sys/bus/pci/slots was redefined to
-	represent a machine's physical PCI slots. The change in semantics
-	had userspace implications, as the hotplug core no longer allowed
-	drivers to create multiple sysfs files per physical slot (required
-	for multi-function devices, e.g.). fakephp was seen as a developer's
-	tool only, and its interface changed. Too late, we learned that
-	there were some users of the fakephp interface.
-
-	In 2.6.30, the original fakephp interface was restored. At the same
-	time, the PCI core gained the ability that fakephp provided, namely
-	function-level hot-remove and hot-add.
-
-	Since the PCI core now provides the same functionality, exposed in:
-
-		/sys/bus/pci/rescan
-		/sys/bus/pci/devices/.../remove
-		/sys/bus/pci/devices/.../rescan
-
-	there is no functional reason to maintain fakephp as well.
-
-	We will keep the existing module so that 'modprobe fakephp' will
-	present the old /sys/bus/pci/slots/... interface for compatibility,
-	but users are urged to migrate their applications to the API above.
-
-	After a reasonable transition period, we will remove the legacy
-	fakephp interface.
