Debt handling had several issues. * How much inuse a debtor carries wasn't clearly defined. inuse would be driven down over time from not issuing IOs but it'd be better to clamp it to minimum immediately once in debt. * How much can be paid off was determined by hweight_inuse. As inuse was driven down, the payment amount would fall together regardless of the debtor's active weight. This means that the debtors were punished harshly. * ioc_rqos_merge() wasn't calling blkcg_schedule_throttle() after iocg_kick_delay(). This patch revamps debt handling so that * Debt handling owns inuse for iocgs in debt and keeps them at zero. * Payment amount is determined by hweight_active. This is more deterministic and safer than hweight_inuse but still far from ideal in that it doesn't factor in possible donations from other iocgs for debt payments. This likely needs further improvements in the future. * iocg_rqos_merge() now calls blkcg_schedule_throttle() as necessary.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
