Title:
cgroup blkio throttle does not work on root group
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
from kernel document,
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroup-v1/blkio-controller.txt
```
Throttling/Upper Limit policy
-----------------------------
- Enable Block IO controller
CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP=y
- Enable throttling in block layer
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING=y
- Mount blkio controller (see cgroups.txt, Why are cgroups needed?)
mount -t cgroup -o blkio none /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio
- Specify a bandwidth rate on particular device for root group. The format
for policy is "<major>:<minor> <bytes_per_second>".
echo "8:16 1048576" >
/sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/blkio.throttle.read_bps_device
Above will put a limit of 1MB/second on reads happening for root group
on device having major/minor number 8:16.
- Run dd to read a file and see if rate is throttled to 1MB/s or not.
# dd iflag=direct if=/mnt/common/zerofile of=/dev/null bs=4K
count=1024
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
4194304 bytes (4.2 MB) copied, 4.0001 s, 1.0 MB/s
Limits for writes can be put using blkio.throttle.write_bps_device file.
```
tested with ubuntu 16.04(xenial) and seems throttle not working, but
on my virtual machine, ubuntu 14.04(trusty) works.
