Subject: [PATCH v4 06/28] docs: cgroup-v1/blkio-controller.rst: add a note about CFQ scheduler
Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2019 14:52:42 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1744c7301a89dc69601fea6955c08404e6a1d39b.1560361364.git.mchehab+samsung@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1560361364.git.mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>

The CFQ scheduler was removed on this changeset:

  commit f382fb0bcef4c37dc049e9f6963e3baf204d815c
  Author: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
  Date:   Fri Oct 12 10:14:46 2018 -0600

    block: remove legacy IO schedulers

    Retain the deadline documentation, as that carries over to mq-deadline
    as well.

    Tested-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com>
    Reviewed-by: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com>
    Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

However, the cgroups-v1 documentation still mentions it and points
to a removed file that used to belong to such scheduler.

Add a note about that, as someone needs to fix the document pointing
to another scheduler, if cgroups-v1 blockio is not dependent of
CFQ scheduler.
