Hi Fengguang,

Above simple IO controller capabilities sound interesting and I was
looking at the patch to figure out the details. 

You seem to be mentioning that user can explicitly set the upper rate
limit per task for async IO. Can't really figure that out where is the
interface for setting such upper limits. Can you please point me to that.

Thanks
Vivek
