Message-ID: <47869FFE.1050000@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2008 23:45:19 +0100 (MET)
From: Andrea Righi <righiandr@...rs.sourceforge.net>
To: LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>
Cc: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@...cle.com>
Subject: [RFC][PATCH] per-task I/O throttling
Allow to limit the bandwidth of I/O-intensive processes, like backup
tools running in background, large files copy, checksums on huge files,
etc.
This kind of processes can noticeably impact the system responsiveness
for some time and playing with tasks' priority is not always an
acceptable solution.
This patch allows to specify a maximum I/O rate in sectors per second
for each single process via /proc/<PID>/io_throttle (default is zero,
that specify no limit).
