Description
On startup
WARN[2020-06-02T19:13:22.619792818+01:00] Your kernel does not support cgroup blkio weight
WARN[2020-06-02T19:13:22.619998687+01:00] Your kernel does not support cgroup blkio weight_device
After which my entire system hangs and reboots, although to be fair, I'm not sure it's this that's causing the reboot. I'll update once I've compiled a kernel with the relevant symbols enabled.
The symbol that needs to be enabled is CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP_IOCOST=y
CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP_IOCOST:
Enabling this option enables the .weight interface for
cost model based proportional IO control. The IO controller
distributes IO capacity between different groups based on
their share of the overall weight distribution.

Research direction
Start in utils/docker-ce/Config.in and inspect how the Docker kernel feature menu selects symbols, especially the existing blkio-related options. Check the OpenWrt kernel configuration and Docker startup warnings to confirm whether CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP_IOCOST is the missing dependency. Done means the symbol is selected appropriately and the resulting configuration no longer produces the reported warning.
