[PATCH 2/2 v4] block/throttle: Add IO queued information in blkio.throttle

From: Robin Dong
Date: Fri Oct 19 2012 - 00:24:59 EST


From: Robin Dong <sanbai@xxxxxxxxxx>

Currently, if the IO is throttled by io-throttle, the system admin has no idea
of the situation and can't report it to the real application user about that
he/she has to do something.

So this patch adds a new interface named blkio.throttle.io_queued which
exposes the number of bios that have been sent to blk-throttle therefore the
user could calculate the difference from throttle.io_serviced to see how many
IOs are currently throttled.

v3 <-- v2:
- Use nr-queued[] of struct throtl_grp for stats instaed of adding new blkg_rwstat.

v4 <-- v3:
- Add two new blkg_rwstat arguments to count total bios be sent in blk_throttle.
