Here we introduce per-cgroup latency target. The target determines how a cgroup can afford latency increasement. We will use the target latency to calculate a threshold and use it to schedule IO for cgroups. If a cgroup's bandwidth is below its low limit but its average latency is below the threshold, other cgroups can safely dispatch more IO even their bandwidth is higher than their low limits. On the other hand, if the first cgroup's latency is higher than the threshold, other cgroups are throttled to their low limits. So the target latency determines how we efficiently utilize free disk resource without sacifice of worload's IO latency. For example, assume 4k IO average latency is 50us when disk isn't congested. A cgroup sets the target latency to 30us. Then the cgroup can accept 50+30=80us IO latency. If the cgroupt's average IO latency is 90us and its bandwidth is below low limit, other cgroups are throttled to their low limit. If the cgroup's average IO latency is 60us, other cgroups are allowed to dispatch more IO. When other cgroups dispatch more IO, the first cgroup's IO latency will increase. If it increases to 81us, we then throttle other cgroups. User will configure the interface in this way: echo "8:16 rbps=2097152 wbps=max latency=100 idle=200" > io.low latency is in microsecond unit By default, latency target is 0, which means to guarantee IO latency.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
