Subject: Re: [PATCH] range-bw: Another I/O scheduling policy of dm-ioband

Hi, Ryo.

Sorry for late reply.

I think upper result is reasonable.
because you configured min and  max bandwidth as 0K:100K(for cgroup1)
and 0K:200K(for cgroup2).
So, range-bw supported appropriate and expected bandwidth with 1~3% error range.
minimum bandwidth was satisfied (0K, 0K ) and maximum bandwidth was
limited (100K, 200K)
but there is some considered point in use of range-bw as I described
in [PATCH 0/2] as below.

* Attention
-----------------
Range-BW supports the predicable I/O bandwidth, but it should be
configured in the scope of total I/O bandwidth of the I/O system to
guarantee the minimum I/O requirement. For example, if total I/O
bandwidth is 40Mbytes/sec, the summary of I/O bandwidth configured in
each process group should be equal or smaller than 40Mbytes/sec.
So, we need to check total I/O bandwidth before set it up.

If you need more another information about range-bw, reply to me.

Thank you for bug reporting
I will check it again.
