[PATCH V4 07/15] blk-throttle: make throtl_slice tunable

From: Shaohua Li
Date: Mon Nov 14 2016 - 17:26:05 EST


throtl_slice is important for blk-throttling. A lot of stuffes depend on
it, for example, throughput measurement. It has 100ms default value,
which is not appropriate for all disks. For example, for SSD we might
use a smaller value to make the throughput smoother. This patch makes it
tunable.
