RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

In a systemd service unit, IODeviceWeight= settings have no effect.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

systemd-250-12.el9_1.1

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. systemctl set-property chronyd.service IODeviceWeight="/dev/sda 95" 
2. cat /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/chronyd.service/io.bfq.weight


Actual results:

default 100

Expected results:

default 100
8:0 95

Additional info:

There are two options to set the I/O weight for a specific block device; io.bfq.weight provided by kernel and io.weight supported by systemd.
Setting the io.weight for a specific block device is unsupported because RHEL9 kernel doesn't set kernel option BLK_CGROUP_IOCOST.

# cat /boot/config-<ver> |grep "BLK_CGROUP_IOCOST"
# CONFIG_BLK_IOCOST is not set

systemd v250 doesn't support per-device IO weight with io.bfq.weight.

And systemd v251 support io.bfq.weight
