I totally agree. I could easily merge the bio-cgroup functionality in io-throttle or implement this as an infrastructure framework, using a single controller and remove this complication.
For now, since the decisions on IO controllers are not definitive at all, I privileged flexibility and I simply decided to be a plain user of bio-cgroup to quickly adapt my patch to the future bio-cgroup development.
Thanks, -Andrea
