[PATCH RFC 1/2] tests/throtl: add a new test 007

[Yu Kuai]

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@huawei.com>

Add test for IO merge over iops limit.

Noted this test will fail for now, kernel solution is in development.

I'd suggest to check if actual iops matches with the iops limit directly,
and it isn't intuitive to compare time taken in test wrt. iops throttle.

Yes, that's a good idea.

BTW, I'll wait if we agree with the change in kernel first before
sending the next version.

Thanks Yu. I will add nit comments below. I will do review again and trial runs
when the kernel solution gets available.

I expect this will be updated

This line is not necessary. taskset is included in util-linux, which the "check"
script confirms avialability.

I recommend _have_fio instead.

I guess you will think about better name of this function here. "run_fio" or
something?  It's the better to not have underscore prefix.

[PATCH RFC 2/2] tests/throtl: add a new test 008

[Yu Kuai]

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@huawei.com>

Test that a high iops limit won't affect bps limit.

Noted this test will fail for now, kernel solution is in development.

Nit: I guess you may want to update the year to 2025.
