Hi Tejun,

"A fixed cost per IO sounds" like iops and "cost proportional to IO size"
sounds like bandwidth. I am wondering can we dynamically control both
bps and iops rate of cgroup based on cgroup weight and average bw/iops of
device queue. That way a cgroup can not get unfair share of disk neither
by throwing lots of small IOs, nor by sending down a small number of large
IOs.

Will that be good enough.

Thanks
