A first-cut of the CKRM I/O scheduler is available and on the
ckrm.sf.net website.
It only allows equal shares to all classes (just like the equal shares
to all processes provided by
the CFQ iosched).
A variable-bandwidth providing version which respects share settings as
best as it can is in the works.
Some other work put me off completing this but its conceptually quite
simple - instead of picking off requests in
round-robin off the per-class queues, the iosched picks them off using a
virtual clock based algorithm. This will provide
proportional serving of requests as far as the iosched is concerned (it
might not result in the same share of disk bandwidth being
allocated since that depends on the seek times seen by the requests but
it should be good enough to start with - modelling the disk etc.
to get more accurate apportioning will most likely add more complexity
than required and/or violate a few layering assumptions).
