Hello, For the cello-based io controller we are developing we need to assign certain queue-reordering functions to each class. For instance, the cello paper defines a real-time reordeding, deadline reordering and best-effort reordering. But the rcfs interface only allows to set the limit and guarantee for a class, there is no [obvious] way to set a different parameter. Are there any plans to add this capability to rcfs?
As I was trying to work around this problem, I attempted to use the class name to infer what the classified function should be (three classes is good enough of a test, for starters) - but I have discovered that the class name contains the mount point and the class type: /rcfs/taskclass/foo/bar, when I was really expecting only the significant part of the path "foo/bar", since the mountpoint can be anywhere and the class type can be obtained by other means. Is this deliberate, or it just happened and nobody had a reason to change it? Thank you, florin -- Don't question authority: they don't know either!
