[PATCH 1/2] blk-throttle: process limit change only through one function

From: Vivek Goyal
Date: Mon Feb 21 2011 - 18:43:09 EST


o With the help of cgroup interface one can go and upate the bps/iops limits
of existing group. Once the limits are udpated, a thread is woken up to
see if some blocked group needs recalculation based on new limits and needs
to be requeued.

o There was also a piece of code where I was checking for group limit update
when a fresh bio comes in. This patch gets rid of that piece of code and
keeps processing the limit change at one place throtl_process_limit_change().
It just keeps the code simple and easy to understand.
