The issue is that if there's a client that doesn't implement
self-throttling you cannot guarantee anything on the server side.
Hence the mechanism must exist on the server side.
The NVME target should charge IO to respective blkcg's (just a generic
advice, I'm not familiar with that interface; see also
kthread_associate_blkcg() use in loop device driver).
HTH,
Michal
