But, In my opinion,
it is some strange that the bandwidth of write operation in direct IO
mode was not controlled by io-throttle
I think [PATCH -mm 4/6] is for control of buffered IO.
Do I misunderstand it?

Oh, it sounds good.
I look foward to your next io-throttle

thank you, Andrea.
I want to check iops limiting of io-throttle is working well.
Have a nice day...
