-Parameters to set
------------------
+Parameters
+----------
-For each group, there is only the following parameter to set.
+For each group, the following parameters can be set:
-weight (namely blkio.bfq.weight or io.bfq-weight): the weight of the
-group inside its parent. Available values: 1..1000 (default 100). The
-linear mapping between ioprio and weights, described at the beginning
-of the tunable section, is still valid, but all weights higher than
-IOPRIO_BE_NR*10 are mapped to ioprio 0.
+ weight
+ This specifies the default weight for the cgroup inside its parent.
+ Available values: 1..1000 (default: 100).
-Recall that, if low-latency is set, then BFQ automatically raises the
-weight of the queues associated with interactive and soft real-time
-applications. Unset this tunable if you need/want to control weights.
+ For cgroup v1, it is set by writing the value to `blkio.bfq.weight`.
+
+ For cgroup v2, it is set by writing the value to `io.bfq.weight`.
+ (with an optional prefix of `default` and a space).
+
+ The linear mapping between ioprio and weights, described at the beginning
+ of the tunable section, is still valid, but all weights higher than

+ weight of the queues associated with interactive and soft real-time
+ applications. Unset this tunable if you need/want to control weights.
+
+ weight_device
+ This specifies a per-device weight for the cgroup. The syntax is
+ `minor:major weight`. A weight of `0` may be used to reset to the default
+ weight.
+
+ For cgroup v1, it is set by writing the value to `blkio.bfq.weight_device`.
+
+ For cgroup v2, the file name is `io.bfq.weight`.
