10 Disable this option to remove the block layer support from the
11 kernel. This may be useful for embedded devices.
12
13 If this option is disabled:
14
15 - block device files will become unusable
16 - some filesystems (such as ext3) will become unavailable.
17
18 Also, SCSI character devices and USB storage will be disabled since
19 they make use of various block layer definitions and facilities.

54 Saying Y here will enable generic SG (SCSI generic) v4 support
55 for any block device.
56
57 Unlike SG v3 (aka block/scsi_ioctl.c drivers/scsi/sg.c), SG v4
58 can handle complicated SCSI commands: tagged variable length cdbs
59 with bidirectional data transfers and generic request/response
60 protocols (e.g. Task Management Functions and SMP in Serial
61 Attached SCSI).

63 This option is required by recent UDEV versions to properly
64 access device serial numbers, etc.

69 bool "Block layer data integrity support"
70 ---help---
71 Some storage devices allow extra information to be
72 stored/retrieved to help protect the data. The block layer
73 data integrity option provides hooks which can be used by
74 filesystems to ensure better data integrity.
75
76 Say yes here if you have a storage device that provides the
77 T10/SCSI Data Integrity Field or the T13/ATA External Path
78 Protection. If in doubt, say N.

84 ---help---
85 Block layer bio throttling support. It can be used to limit
86 the IO rate to a device. IO rate policies are per cgroup and
87 one needs to mount and use blkio cgroup controller for creating
88 cgroups and specifying per device IO rate policies.
