But seen from the parent, the child isn't different from any other issuer in flat hierarchy. It's just being repeated, so if you assume a process which behaves in the exact same manner, that process would get penalized too. e.g. imagine an application which throttles itself and issues exactly 1MB/s amount of data in direct IO. It'd get penalized the same way, right? > Ok. Not having a perfect algorithm now is fine. We can always redo it > later. I think we can do source-based RR on bio_lists[] fetching which is simple enough and should be able to avoid most of the problems, right?
