How is this supposed to work
cg1     /dev/sda	prio:10
        /dev/sdb	prio:5
` cg3     /dev/sda	  prio:5
   	  /dev/sdb	  prio:10
cg2     /dev/sda	prio:5
        /dev/sdb	prio:10
` cg4     /dev/sda	  prio:10
   	  /dev/sdb	  prio:5

when there are competitors from cg3 and cg4? Which device should be
preferred by each cgroup?

Interface note -- try to make it "Nested keyed" or "Flat keyed" as
described in Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst (like io.max or
io.weight), so that it is consistent with other cgroup v2 APIs.


HTH,
