I know and took it into account. Let me detail my calculations. Both request are of the same size and takes alone a time T to complete (about 22.5s in our example). For sake of simplification, let's ignore switching cost. Then, the completion time of both requests running at the same time would be 2T, whatever are their weights or classes. If one group weights 1000 and the other 500 (resp. 250), the first group gets 2/3 (4/5) of the bandwidth as long as it is running, and thus finished in T/(2/3) = 2T*3/4 (resp. T/(4/5) = 2T*5/8 ) that is 3/4 (5/8) of the total time. The other always finish in about 2T. The actual results above are pretty closed to these theoretical values and that how I concluded that the controller is pretty fair. > > Can you just capture the output of "io.disk_time" file in both the cgroups > at the time of completion of task in higher weight group.

That way we can > see how disk times are being distributed between groups. Actually, I already check that and the result was good but I didn't keep the output, so I just rerun the (1000,500) weights. First column is the time spent by first group since last refresh (refresh period is 2s). The second column is the same for second group. The group test3 is not used. The first "ratios" column is the ratio between io time spent by first group and time spent by second group. $ ./watch_cgroup.sh 2 test1: 0 test2: 0 test3: 0 ratios: -- -- -- test1: 805 test2: 301 test3: 0 ratios: 2.67441860465116279069 -- -- test1: 1209 test2: 714 test3: 0 ratios: 1.69327731092436974789 -- -- test1: 1306 test2: 503 test3: 0 ratios: 2.59642147117296222664 -- -- test1: 1210 test2: 604 test3: 0 ratios: 2.00331125827814569536 -- -- test1: 1207 test2: 605 test3: 0 ratios: 1.99504132231404958677 -- -- test1: 1209 test2: 605 test3: 0 ratios: 1.99834710743801652892 -- -- test1: 1206 test2: 606 test3: 0 ratios: 1.99009900990099009900 -- -- test1: 1109 test2: 607 test3: 0 ratios: 1.82701812191103789126 -- -- test1: 1213 test2: 603 test3: 0 ratios: 2.01160862354892205638 -- -- test1: 1214 test2: 608 test3: 0 ratios: 1.99671052631578947368 -- -- test1: 1211 test2: 603 test3: 0 ratios: 2.00829187396351575456 -- -- test1: 1110 test2: 603 test3: 0 ratios: 1.84079601990049751243 -- -- test1: 1210 test2: 605 test3: 0 ratios: 2.00000000000000000000 -- -- test1: 1211 test2: 601 test3: 0 ratios: 2.01497504159733777038 -- -- test1: 1210 test2: 607 test3: 0 ratios: 1.99341021416803953871 -- -- test1: 1204 test2: 604 test3: 0 ratios: 1.99337748344370860927 -- -- test1: 1207 test2: 605 test3: 0 ratios: 1.99504132231404958677 -- -- test1: 1089 test2: 708 test3: 0 ratios: 1.53813559322033898305 -- -- test1: 0 test2: 2124 test3: 0 ratios: 0 -- -- test1: 0 test2: 1915 test3: 0 ratios: 0 -- -- test1: 0 test2: 1919 test3: 0 ratios: 0 -- -- test1: 0 test2: 2023 test3: 0 ratios: 0 -- -- test1: 0 test2: 1925 test3: 0 ratios: 0 -- -- test1: 0 test2: 705 test3: 0 ratios: 0 -- -- test1: 0 test2: 0 test3: 0 ratios: -- -- -- As you can see, the ratio stays close to 2 as long as first request is running.
