hard disk IO latency varies a lot depending on spindle move. The latency range could be from several microseconds to several milliseconds. It's pretty hard to get the baseline latency used by io.low. We will use a different stragety here. The idea is only using IO with spindle move to determine if cgroup IO is in good state. For HD, if io latency is small (< 1ms), we ignore the IO. Such IO is likely from sequential IO, and is helpless to help determine if a cgroup's IO is impacted by other cgroups. With this, we only account IO with big latency. Then we can choose a hardcoded baseline latency for HD (4ms, which is typical IO latency with seek). With all these settings, the io.low latency works for both HD and SSD.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
