+What:		/sys/block/<disk>/alignment_offset
+Date:		April 2009
+Contact:	Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
+Description:
+		Storage devices may report a physical block size that is
+		bigger than the logical block size (for instance a drive
+		with 4KB physical sectors exposing 512-byte logical
+		blocks to the operating system).  This parameter
+		indicates how many bytes the beginning of the device is
+		offset from the disk's natural alignment.

+What:		/sys/block/<disk>/queue/logical_block_size
+Date:		May 2009
+Contact:	Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
+Description:
+		This is the smallest unit the storage device can
+		address.  It is typically 512 bytes.
+
+What:		/sys/block/<disk>/queue/physical_block_size
+Date:		May 2009
+Contact:	Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
+Description:
+		This is the smallest unit a physical storage device can
+		write atomically.  It is usually the same as the logical
+		block size but may be bigger.  One example is SATA
+		drives with 4KB sectors that expose a 512-byte logical
+		block size to the operating system.  For stacked block
+		devices the physical_block_size variable contains the
+		maximum physical_block_size of the component devices.
+
+What:		/sys/block/<disk>/queue/minimum_io_size
+Date:		April 2009
+Contact:	Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
+Description:
+		Storage devices may report a granularity or preferred
+		minimum I/O size which is the smallest request the
+		device can perform without incurring a performance
+		penalty.  For disk drives this is often the physical
+		block size.  For RAID arrays it is often the stripe
+		chunk size.  A properly aligned multiple of
+		minimum_io_size is the preferred request size for
+		workloads where a high number of I/O operations is
+		desired.
+
+What:		/sys/block/<disk>/queue/optimal_io_size
+Date:		April 2009
+Contact:	Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
+Description:
+		Storage devices may report an optimal I/O size, which is
+		the device's preferred unit for sustained I/O.  This is
+		rarely reported for disk drives.  For RAID arrays it is
+		usually the stripe width or the internal track size.  A
+		properly aligned multiple of optimal_io_size is the
+		preferred request size for workloads where sustained
+		throughput is desired.  If no optimal I/O size is
+		reported this file contains 0.
+
+What:		/sys/block/<disk>/queue/nomerges
+Date:		January 2010
+Contact:
+Description:
+		Standard I/O elevator operations include attempts to
+		merge contiguous I/Os. For known random I/O loads these
+		attempts will always fail and result in extra cycles
+		being spent in the kernel. This allows one to turn off
+		this behavior on one of two ways: When set to 1, complex
+		merge checks are disabled, but the simple one-shot merges
+		with the previous I/O request are enabled. When set to 2,
+		all merge tries are disabled. The default value is 0 -
+		which enables all types of merge tries.
+
+What:		/sys/block/<disk>/discard_alignment
+Date:		May 2011
+Contact:	Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
+Description:
+		Devices that support discard functionality may
+		internally allocate space in units that are bigger than
+		the exported logical block size. The discard_alignment
+		parameter indicates how many bytes the beginning of the
+		device is offset from the internal allocation unit's
+		natural alignment.
+
+What:		/sys/block/<disk>/<partition>/discard_alignment
+Date:		May 2011
+Contact:	Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
+Description:

+		natural alignment.
+
+What:		/sys/block/<disk>/queue/discard_granularity
+Date:		May 2011
+Contact:	Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
+Description:
+		Devices that support discard functionality may
+		internally allocate space using units that are bigger
+		than the logical block size. The discard_granularity
+		parameter indicates the size of the internal allocation
+		unit in bytes if reported by the device. Otherwise the
+		discard_granularity will be set to match the device's
+		physical block size. A discard_granularity of 0 means
+		that the device does not support discard functionality.
+
+What:		/sys/block/<disk>/queue/discard_max_bytes
+Date:		May 2011
+Contact:	Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
+Description:
+		Devices that support discard functionality may have
+		internal limits on the number of bytes that can be
+		trimmed or unmapped in a single operation. Some storage
+		protocols also have inherent limits on the number of
+		blocks that can be described in a single command. The
+		discard_max_bytes parameter is set by the device driver
+		to the maximum number of bytes that can be discarded in
+		a single operation. Discard requests issued to the
+		device must not exceed this limit. A discard_max_bytes
+		value of 0 means that the device does not support
+		discard functionality.
+
+What:		/sys/block/<disk>/queue/discard_zeroes_data
+Date:		May 2011
+Contact:	Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
+Description:
+		Will always return 0.  Don't rely on any specific behavior
+		for discards, and don't read this file.
+
+What:		/sys/block/<disk>/queue/write_same_max_bytes
+Date:		January 2012
+Contact:	Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
+Description:
+		Some devices support a write same operation in which a
+		single data block can be written to a range of several
+		contiguous blocks on storage. This can be used to wipe
+		areas on disk or to initialize drives in a RAID
+		configuration. write_same_max_bytes indicates how many
+		bytes can be written in a single write same command. If
+		write_same_max_bytes is 0, write same is not supported
+		by the device.
+
+What:		/sys/block/<disk>/queue/write_zeroes_max_bytes
+Date:		November 2016
+Contact:	Chaitanya Kulkarni <chaitanya.kulkarni@wdc.com>
+Description:
+		Devices that support write zeroes operation in which a
+		single request can be issued to zero out the range of
+		contiguous blocks on storage without having any payload
+		in the request. This can be used to optimize writing zeroes
+		to the devices. write_zeroes_max_bytes indicates how many
+		bytes can be written in a single write zeroes command. If
+		write_zeroes_max_bytes is 0, write zeroes is not supported
+		by the device.
+
+What:		/sys/block/<disk>/queue/zoned
+Date:		September 2016
+Contact:	Damien Le Moal <damien.lemoal@wdc.com>
+Description:
+		zoned indicates if the device is a zoned block device
+		and the zone model of the device if it is indeed zoned.
+		The possible values indicated by zoned are "none" for
+		regular block devices and "host-aware" or "host-managed"
+		for zoned block devices. The characteristics of
+		host-aware and host-managed zoned block devices are
+		described in the ZBC (Zoned Block Commands) and ZAC
+		(Zoned Device ATA Command Set) standards. These standards
+		also define the "drive-managed" zone model. However,
+		since drive-managed zoned block devices do not support
+		zone commands, they will be treated as regular block
+		devices and zoned will report "none".
+
+What:		/sys/block/<disk>/queue/nr_zones
+Date:		November 2018
+Contact:	Damien Le Moal <damien.lemoal@wdc.com>
+Description:
+		nr_zones indicates the total number of zones of a zoned block
+		device ("host-aware" or "host-managed" zone model). For regular
+		block devices, the value is always 0.
+
+What:		/sys/block/<disk>/queue/max_active_zones
+Date:		July 2020
+Contact:	Niklas Cassel <niklas.cassel@wdc.com>
+Description:
+		For zoned block devices (zoned attribute indicating
+		"host-managed" or "host-aware"), the sum of zones belonging to
+		any of the zone states: EXPLICIT OPEN, IMPLICIT OPEN or CLOSED,
+		is limited by this value. If this value is 0, there is no limit.
+
+What:		/sys/block/<disk>/queue/max_open_zones

+
+What:		/sys/block/<disk>/queue/chunk_sectors
+Date:		September 2016
+Contact:	Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.com>
+Description:
+		chunk_sectors has different meaning depending on the type
+		of the disk. For a RAID device (dm-raid), chunk_sectors
+		indicates the size in 512B sectors of the RAID volume
+		stripe segment. For a zoned block device, either
+		host-aware or host-managed, chunk_sectors indicates the
+		size in 512B sectors of the zones of the device, with
+		the eventual exception of the last zone of the device
+		which may be smaller.
+
+What:		/sys/block/<disk>/queue/io_timeout
+Date:		November 2018
+Contact:	Weiping Zhang <zhangweiping@didiglobal.com>
+Description:
+		io_timeout is the request timeout in milliseconds. If a request
+		does not complete in this time then the block driver timeout
+		handler is invoked. That timeout handler can decide to retry
+		the request, to fail it or to start a device recovery strategy.
