blk-throttle: make throtl_slice tunable
throtl_slice is important for blk-throttling. It's called slice internally but it really is a time window blk-throttling samples data. blk-throttling will make decision based on the samplings. An example is bandwidth measurement. A cgroup's bandwidth is measured in the time interval of throtl_slice. A small throtl_slice meanse cgroups have smoother throughput but burn more CPUs. It has 100ms default value, which is not appropriate for all disks. A fast SSD can dispatch a lot of IOs in 100ms. This patch makes it tunable. Since throtl_slice isn't a time slice, the sysfs name 'throttle_sample_time' reflects its character better. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
