blk-throtl: optimize IOPS throttle for large IO scenarios
After patch 54efd50b (block: make generic_make_request handle arbitrarily sized bios), the IO through io-throttle may be larger, and these IOs may be further split into more small IOs. However, IOPS throttle does not seem to be aware of this change, which makes the calculation of IOPS of large IOs incomplete, resulting in disk-side IOPS that does not meet expectations. Maybe we should fix this problem. We can reproduce it by set max_sectors_kb of disk to 128, set blkio.write_iops_throttle to 100, run a dd instance inside blkio and use iostat to watch IOPS: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M count=1000 oflag=direct As a result, without this change the average IOPS is 1995, with this change the IOPS is 98.
