Thanks for your info! Currently, the iotune in libvirt’s xml indeed works well, BTW, is there any plan for such “re-engineering”?

No, libvirt currently still uses the older approach by using
'block_set_io_throttle' QMP command. This was used at the beginning
because the 'throttle' layer was not yet ready at the point when libvirt
adopted -blockdev.
It is sufficient for the throttling options that are currently
configurable via libvirt's XML.
Note that to use the full potential of the throttle groups and
hierarchical throttling will require significant re-engineering of the
XML configuration of throttling.
