Hi, Tejun, thanks for your review:)

The reason that we implemented a ceph-specific controller is as follows:
       We have a need to limit our docker instances' rate of io issued
to the underlying Cephfs cluster. As the limitation has to be in the
granularity of docker instance, we think maybe we can leverage the
cgroup interface. At the time, we thought no existing cgroup
controller can satisfy our requirement, as we thought the blkio
controller, the only io related controller, is dedicated to restrain
the io issued to block devices. So we implemented a new controller.

However, Ilya Dryomov pointed out, in another thread in the mailing
list ceph-devel, that the blkio controller is supposed to handle any
io now. We now think maybe we should try to leverage the blkio
controller to implement the cephfs io limiting mechanism. Am I right
about this? Thanks:-)
