Hello, Should have asked you earlier but with the BIO_THROTTLED flag setting from clone removed, with single BIO_THROTTLED flag, does the fix still require bytes subtraction? If we can do single flag and we don't need the bytes subtraction, might as well just stay with single flag?
Do you mean 'compensate the over-accounting' for bytes subtraction? If so, yes, it's not required. This patch actually set two flags when bio is throttled and dispatched, and only iops flag is cleared after the original bio is split. If only one flag can be used, the way that I come up with is that let iops limit become default, which means bio is always counted for iops limit each time blk_throtl_bio() is called. I'm not quite sure yet if iops limit can be counted excessively this way in some special scenario... Thanks, Kuai
Thanks.
