Hmmm. The test you appended just checks that bytes get written.
That's pretty much useless for verification of the features you
describe above (throttling rate it correct, dynamic throttle
application as memcg config changes).

You explicitly state this is a memcg IO QoS feature and that you
have a set of fio tests that verify that it works as expected. We
need those "works as expected" fio tests formalised into automated
fstests. Both upstream fs developers and downstream distro QE
departments need to be able to verify that the bandwidth control and
throttling works as advertised - it's essential that we have
regression tests for this....

Cheers,

Dave.
