 CFQ sysfs tunable
 =================
-/sys/block/<disk>/queue/iosched/group_isolation
------------------------------------------------
-
-If group_isolation=1, it provides stronger isolation between groups at the
-expense of throughput. By default group_isolation is 0. In general that
-means that if group_isolation=0, expect fairness for sequential workload
-only. Set group_isolation=1 to see fairness for random IO workload also.
-
-Generally CFQ will put random seeky workload in sync-noidle category. CFQ
-will disable idling on these queues and it does a collective idling on group
-of such queues. Generally these are slow moving queues and if there is a
-sync-noidle service tree in each group, that group gets exclusive access to
-disk for certain period. That means it will bring the throughput down if
-group does not have enough IO to drive deeper queue depths and utilize disk
-capacity to the fullest in the slice allocated to it. But the flip side is
-that even a random reader should get better latencies and overall throughput
-if there are lots of sequential readers/sync-idle workload running in the
-system.
-
-If group_isolation=0, then CFQ automatically moves all the random seeky queues
-in the root group. That means there will be no service differentiation for
-that kind of workload. This leads to better throughput as we do collective
-idling on root sync-noidle tree.
-
-By default one should run with group_isolation=0. If that is not sufficient
-and one wants stronger isolation between groups, then set group_isolation=1
-but this will come at cost of reduced throughput.

 ------------------------------------------
 On a faster hardware CFQ can be slow, especially with sequential workload.
