I took a quick look at your patch. It seems to be no problem for
existing dm-ioband code, but I would suggest you that you had better
use checkpatch.pl to check for your coding style.
The patch could be applied and compiled successfully. I did a simple
test, running fio on each cgroup in 30 seconds simultaneously, and got
the following results.

               w/o range-bw     w/ range-bw (min&max-bw settings)
cgroup1          331KB/s             102KB/s (100KB)
cgroup2          331KB/s             196KB/s (200KB)

Do you have any benchmark resutls? I'd be very interested to see it.

Thanks,
