Hi Ryo

I am sorry for delayed reply.
I tested range-bw policy as you send me your configuration
and I found some logical bugs in range-bw including big scheduling overhead.

I recommend it is better to use different value in min-bw and max-bw
because its concept is to support range-bw with the minimum
guaranteeing and maximum limitation.
exampe - min-bw : 1024 / max-bw : 3072

Thanks for your comments.
And I will fix the bugs and re-release it after several days
at that time, I inform you about that.

Ryo,
now, I am using bio-cgroup.....
but, Is there additional things I have to consider to support AIO or
dealyed I/O?
