2 * buffered writeback throttling. loosely based on CoDel. We can't drop
3 * packets for IO scheduling, so the logic is something like this:
5 * - Monitor latencies in a defined window of time.
6 * - If the minimum latency in the above window exceeds some target, increment
7 * scaling step and scale down queue depth by a factor of 2x. The monitoring
8 * window is then shrunk to 100 / sqrt(scaling step + 1).
9 * - For any window where we don't have solid data on what the latencies
10 * look like, retain status quo.
11 * - If latencies look good, decrement scaling step.
12 * - If we're only doing writes, allow the scaling step to go negative. This
13 * will temporarily boost write performance, snapping back to a stable
14 * scaling step of 0 if reads show up or the heavy writers finish. Unlike
15 * positive scaling steps where we shrink the monitoring window, a negative
16 * scaling step retains the default step==0 window size.
