> Changes from the previous release:
> - Classify IOs in sync/async instead of read/write since the IO

> - IOs belong to the real-time class are dispatched in preference to
> other IOs, regardless of the assigned bandwidth.
I ran your script from the following URL to see IOs belong to the
real-time class take precedence.

Script
======
# /dev/mapper/ioband1 is mounted on /mnt1
rm /mnt1/aggressivewriter
sync
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
# launch an hostile writer
ionice -c2 -n7 dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt1/aggressivewriter \
bs=4K count=524288 conv=fdatasync &
# Reader
ionice -c1 -n0 dd if=/mnt1/testzerofile1 of=/dev/null &
wait $!
echo "reader finished"
old dm-ioband

new dm-ioband v1.11.0
=====================
First run
2147483648 bytes (2.1 GB) copied, 35.0623 seconds, 61.2 MB/s (Reader)
reader finished
2147483648 bytes (2.1 GB) copied, 87.6979 seconds, 24.5 MB/s (Writer)
The RT reader took precedence over the aggressive writer, regardless
of assigned bandwidth. However, I think that some sort of limitation
for RT IOs is needed. What do you think?
Thanks,
Ryo Tsuruta
