Hi Divyesh,

V3 looks much better. Just couple of minor nits.

Like io_wait_time, can you also mention here that this time is cumulative
time and on NCQ disks it can be more than actual time elapsed.

I did a quick run with your patches. I ran a sequential workload for 30s
in two groups of weight 100 and 200. Following is the output of
blkio.io_service_time (I have kept stats for only disk 253:3 in output).

# cat test1/blkio.io_service_time
253:3 Read 18019970625
253:3 Write 0
253:3 Sync 18019970625
253:3 Async 0
253:3 Total 18019970625

# cat test2/blkio.io_service_time
253:3 Read 35479070171
253:3 Write 0
253:3 Sync 35479070171
253:3 Async 0

This storage supports NCQ. We see that though I ran test only for
30 seconds, total service ime for cgroup is close to 18+35=53 seconds.

Personally, I like adding a separate file to reset the stats. Now one does
not get surprised by the fact that writting to blkio.io_service_time, also
reset rest of the stats.

I guess we can rename this function to blkiocg_reset_stats().

use blkiocg_reset_stats?
