Subject: Re: [dm-devel] [PATCH 0/3 v3] add resync speed control for dm-raid1

Hi

I did this already some times ago.
I'm sending my patches in the next mail.

Basically, my and Guangliang's patches have the following differences:

my patch: uses per-module throttle settings
Guangliang's patch: uses per-device settings
(my patch could be changed to use per-device throttle too, but without 
userspace support it isn't much useful because userspace lvm can 
reload the mirror and per-device settings would be lost)

my patch: uses fine grained throttling of the individual IOs in kcopyd - 
it measures active/inactive ratio and if the disk is active more than the 
specified percentage of time, sleep is inserted.
Guangliang's patch: throttles on segment granularity, it waits when 
starting new segment, but segment is copied unthrottled.

my patch: the user selects a percentage value (0 - 100) in 
"/sys/module/dm_mirror/parameters/raid1_resync_throttle", the device is 
kept active the specified percent of time
Guangliang's patch: limits the number of segments per a specified 
interval

My patch is noticeably bigger.
