For cost.model setting, We first use the tools iocost provided to test
the benchmark model parameters of different types of disks online, and
then save these benchmark parameters to a parametric Model Table. During
the deployment process, pull and set the corresponding model parameters
according to the type of disk.

The setting of cost.qos should be considered slightly more,we need to
make some compromises between overall disk throughput and io latency.
The average disk utilization of the entire disk on a specific business
and the RLA(if it is io sensitive) of key businesses will be taken as
important input considerations. The cost.qos will be dynamically
fine-tuned according to the health status monitoring of key businesses.

For cost.weight setting, high-priority services will gain greater
advantages through weight settings to deal with a large number of io
requests in a short period of time. It works fine as work-conservation
of iocost works well according to our observation.

These practices can be done better and I look forward to your better
suggestions.

Indeed in our multi-tenancy scenario, the hard limits are necessary.

Thanks.
