+What: /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/isci_id
+Date: June 2011
+Contact: Dave Jiang <dave.jiang@intel.com>
+Description:
+ This file contains the enumerated host ID for the Intel
+ SCU controller. The Intel(R) C600 Series Chipset SATA/SAS
+ Storage Control Unit embeds up to two 4-port controllers in
+ a single PCI device. The controllers are enumerated in order
+ which usually means the lowest number scsi_host corresponds
+ with the first controller, but this association is not
+ guaranteed. The 'isci_id' attribute unambiguously identifies
+ the controller index: '0' for the first controller,
+ '1' for the second.

-This file contains following statistics.

-
-For example,

- scanned_file_pages_by_limit indicates the number of scanned
- file pages at vmscan.
-
-Now, 3 parameters are supported
-
- scanned - the number of pages scanned by vmscan
- rotated - the number of pages activated at vmscan
- freed - the number of pages freed by vmscan
-
-If "rotated" is high against scanned/freed, the memcg seems busy.
-
-Now, 2 reason are supported
-
- limit - the memory cgroup's limit
- system - global memory pressure + softlimit
- (global memory pressure not under softlimit is not handled now)
-
-When under_hierarchy is added in the tail, the number indicates the
-total memcg scan of its children and itself.
-
-elapsed_ns is a elapsed time in nanosecond. This may include sleep time
-and not indicates CPU usage. So, please take this as just showing
-latency.
