size (RO) Contains the size of the bio write queue.

congestion_off (RW) If bio write queue size is below this mark,

accept new bio requests from the block layer.

congestion_on (RW) If bio write queue size is higher as this
2018-02-23 18:46:32 +05:30
mark, do no longer accept bio write requests
from the block layer and wait till the pktcdvd
device has processed enough bio's so that bio
write queue size is below congestion off mark.
A value of <= 0 disables congestion control.

Example:
--------
2020-10-30 08:40:50 +01:00
To use the pktcdvd sysfs interface directly, you can do::
# create a new pktcdvd device mapped to /dev/hdc
echo "22:0" >/sys/class/pktcdvd/add
cat /sys/class/pktcdvd/device_map
# assuming device pktcdvd0 was created, look at stat's
cat /sys/class/pktcdvd/pktcdvd0/stat/kb_written
# print the device id of the mapped block device
fgrep pktcdvd0 /sys/class/pktcdvd/device_map
# remove device, using pktcdvd0 device id 253:0
echo "253:0" >/sys/class/pktcdvd/remove
