Subject: [RFC PATCH v5 5/5] docs: cgroup-v2: document io.cost model=<name> binding
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 11:17:51 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918031751.1255420-6-cui.tao@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260918031751.1255420-1-cui.tao@linux.dev>
From: Tao Cui <cuitao@kylinos.cn>
Document the named-model binding of io.cost.model in the
io.cost.model section of the cgroup v2 documentation: the binding
and restore syntax, the unknown-name rejection, the full-replacement
semantics of a bound model and the unregister lifetime.

+ When CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP_IOCOST_BPF is enabled, a bound model is
+ read back as "ctrl=bpf model=<name>", and writing "ctrl=bpf" is
+ accepted as a no-op so a saved configuration can be restored as-is.
+ "model" also accepts
+ the name of a registered iocost_model_ops BPF struct_ops model:
+ "model=<name>" binds the model to the device and the model fully
+ replaces the builtin linear pricing, for every operation including
+ flushes; "model=linear" (or "ctrl=auto/user") restores the builtin
+ model. Writing an unknown name fails with ENOENT and nothing is
+ applied. Unregistering a model removes its name from the
+ registry; devices already bound keep using it, and keep receiving
+ cgroup lifecycle notifications, until switched back to the builtin
+ model, and its name keeps working for writes (so a coefficient-only
+ write does not disturb the binding) until the last device unbinds.

When "model" is "linear", the following model parameters are
defined.
