Controllers which already implemented interface for the unified hierarchy are already pretty consistent and this patchset explicitly sets up the conventions so that it's easier to make future conversions conformant. For blkcg, the only thing which needs to be changed is the range and default value of io.weight which is currently [10, 1000] and 500. For the unified hierarchy, cgroup now defines the standard range and default value to be [1, 10000] and 100 so that there's enough room for 100x bias in both directions. This patchset contains the following four patches. 0001-cgroup-export-cgrp_dfl_root.patch 0002-cgroup-define-controller-file-conventions.patch 0003-blkcg-s-CFQ_WEIGHT_-CFQ_WEIGHT_LEGACY_.patch 0004-blkcg-use-CGROUP_WEIGHT_-scale-for-io.weight-on-the-.patch 0001-0002 explicitly defines the controller interface file conventions on the unified hierarchy. 0003-0004 update blkcg so that it conforms to the standard weight range. This patchset is also available in the following git branch. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup.git review-blkcg-normalize-weight and is on top of block/for-linus f3f5da624e0a ("block: Do a full clone when splitting discard bios") + [1] [PATCHSET block/for-4.3] writeback: cgroup writeback updates + [2] [PATCHSET v2 block/for-4.3] block, cgroup: make cfq charge async IOs to the appropriate blkcgs + [3] [PATCHSET v3 block/for-4.3] blkcg: blkcg policy methods and data handling cleanup + [4] [PATCHSET v2 block/for-4.3] blkcg: blkcg stats cleanup + [5] [PATCHSET block/for-4.3] blkcg: implement interface for the unified hierarchy diffstat follows.
