I think I didn't restrict that when I wrote this feature because I assumed no one would define a FOO_max level that is lower than FOO. One could argue that if the user does that on purpose then they deserve the outcome :-) But I guess it's fine to forbit that kind of setup altogether (that is, adding a new check to throttle_is_valid()). The only thing we need to be careful with is that we must not call throttle_is_valid() after throttle_config(), because the latter sets FOO_max = FOO / 10 if FOO_max is not set (see throttle_fix_bucket() for details). But that doesn't seem to be happening so we should be safe. Fix included in qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-20.el7 Verify the bug on following sw versions: Host kernel: 3.10.0-489.el7.x86_64 Qemu-kvm-rhev: qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-20.el7.x86_64 Now there is prompt "bps_max/iops_max cannot be lower than bps/iops" if setting burst value less than throttle value. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.

Created attachment 1178802 [details] Test_shell_script_with_FIO Description of problem: Currently, for qemu iothrottling, the burst value could be set smaller than the throttle vaule(i.e. the FOO_max value could be smaller than the FOO value), which makes the burst is meaningless, so suggest to limit its value to be equal or larger than throttle value. After some test by setting the burst value smaller than the throttle value, it's found: If set burst_length at the same time, the IO would be limited only by the burst value; and if not set burst_length, the IO is limited by the throttle value.
