Hi,
I report benchmark results of the following I/O bandwidth controllers.

controlling subsystem for CGroups based on CFQ

The test procedure is as follows:
o Prepare 3 partitions sdc2, sdc3 and sdc4.
o Run 100 processes issuing random direct I/O with 4KB data on each
partitions.
o Run 3 tests:
#1 issuing read I/O only.
#2 issuing write I/O only.
#3 sdc2 and sdc3 are read, sdc4 is write.
o Count up the number of I/Os which have done in 60 seconds.
Unfortunately, both bandwidth controllers didn't work as I expected,
On the test #3, the write I/O ate up the bandwidth regardless of the
specified priority level.

I'd like to see other benchmark results if anyone has.
Thanks,
