 controlling subsystem for CGroups based on CFQ

Hi, 

I report benchmark results of the following I/O bandwidth controllers.

The test procedure is as follows:
  o Prepare 3 partitions sdc2, sdc3 and sdc4.
  o Run 100 processes issuing random direct I/O with 4KB data on each
    partitions.
  o Run 3 tests:
    #1 issuing read I/O only.
    #2 issuing write I/O only.
    #3 sdc2 and sdc3 are read, sdc4 is write.
  o Count up the number of I/Os which have done in 60 seconds.

Unfortunately, both bandwidth controllers didn't work as I expected,
On the test #3, the write I/O ate up the bandwidth regardless of the
specified priority level.

I'd like to see other benchmark results if anyone has.

Thanks,
