Hi Kuai,

Thanks a lot for jumping in!

Yes, I was testing buffered I/O and can confirm that CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK
was enabled.

$ cat /boot/config-6.10.0-rc5+ |grep CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK
CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK=y

We intend to configure both wbps (write bytes per second) and wiops
(write I/O operations
per second) for the containers. IIUC, this setup will effectively
restrict both their block device
I/Os and buffered I/Os.

> Why not test direct IO?

I was testing direct IO as well. However it did not work as expected with
`echo "8:0 wbps=10485760 wiops=100000" > io.max`.

There are two things that confuse me. First, initially, neither the
wbps nor the wiops
reached their limits. Second, in the last second, the wbps far
exceeded the limit.

But if I only set wbps, then everything works as expected with
`echo "8:0 wbps=10485760 wiops=max" > io.max`

The dd command completed in less than a second, but flushing all the
dirty buffers to
disk took a much longer time. By the time the flushing was completed,
the file had
already been closed, IIUC.
