Re: [PATCH RESEND v6 1/8] blk-throttle: fix that io throttle can only work for single bio

Sorry about the long delay.

So, the code looks nice but I have a difficult time following the logic.

So, we're charging and controlling whether it has already been throttled or
not.

and trying to restore the overaccounting. However, it's not clear why this
helps with the problem you're describing. The comment should be clearly
spelling out why it's done this way and how this works.

Also, blk_throttl_bio() doesn't call into __blk_throtl_bio() at all if
THROTTLED is set and HAS_IOPS_LIMIT is not, so if there are only bw limits,
we end up accounting these IOs twice?

Thanks.
