So, you're issuing one huge IO, with 512M.

And this result looks correct. Please noted that blk-throtl works before
IO submit, while iostat reports IO that are done. A huge IO can be
throttled for a long time.

I don't understand yet is why there are few IO during the wait. Can you
test for a raw disk to bypass filesystem?
