Subject: [PATCH 1/1] blk-throttle: fix throttle configuring not effective

when updating block throttle limit with persistence and stable io
pressure, especially a relative high io pressure, fio test e.g.,
there may never be a change to start a new slice, and carryover_ios &
carryover_bytes will not be cleared.

As a result, when reconfiguring block throttle limit, we can notice that
the actual iops and throughput is a random value far away from what is
set

So we need to update carryover value when dispatching bio

I don't understand, not clear carryover_bytes/ios is what expected, and
how can they affect actual bandwith/iops.

Can you give a example how you tested and why current calculation is not
correct?

Thanks,
Kuai

I can reporduce this, but this patch is obviously wrong. You must
explaim how the calculation is not correct.

After a quick loock, I found that carryover_bytes/ios is not updated in
throtl_trim_slice(), while tg->io/bytes_disp[] can be cleared. This is
definitly a problem.

Thanks,
Kuai
