Ming added a condition in tg_with_in_bps_limit():

Which will let the first throttled bio to be issued immediately once
the config if updated.

Do you think this behaviour is OK? If so, we can do the same for
tg_with_in_iops_limit.

So, the current behavior is that if the user is being silly, it will get
slower and slower. The new behavior would be that if the user is being
silly, it can issue IOs faster and faster, which creates a perverse
incentive to be silly.
Yes,

I just found that Ming's patch introduce a new problem:

If multiple bios are throttled, then they will be issued one by one with
corresponding time. However, after Ming's patch, all throttled bios will
be issued immediately once the waiting time of first bio is reached. And
such behaviour is definitely a problem...


Probably the right thing to do is probably something like translating the
existing budget in light of the new configuration so that config change
neither gives or takes away the budget which has already accumulated. That
said, are you guys seeing this becoming an issue in practice?

Agreed, the solution sounds reasonable. And this problem is found during
test, which issue a large io and in the meantime updating config with
random value.

Thanks,

Thanks.
