[PATCH V2 05/13] blk-throttling: detect inactive cgroup

From: Shaohua Li
Date: Mon Feb 22 2016 - 17:04:58 EST


We don't have a tree to maintain active cgroups. If a cgroup is inactive
for some time, it should be excluded from bandwidth calculation.
Otherwise we will only assign partial bandwidth to active cgroups,
active cgroups will dispatch less IO, the estimated queue bandwidth
drops, which will cause active cgroups dispatch even less IO.
