<title>Description</title>
<para>This file configures the behavior of <literal>iocost</literal>, a tool mostly used by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-udevd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> rules
to automatically apply I/O cost solutions to <filename>/sys/fs/cgroup/io.cost.*</filename>.</para>
<para>The qos and model values are calculated based on benchmarks collected on the
<ulink url="https://github.com/iocost-benchmark/iocost-benchmarks">iocost-benchmark</ulink>
project and turned into a set of solutions that go from most to least isolated.
Isolation allows the system to remain responsive in face of high I/O load.
Which solutions are available for a device can be queried from the udev metadata attached to it. By
default the naive solution is used, which provides the most bandwidth.</para>
