I'd like to propose a discussion topic:

IO-less Dirty Throttling Considered Harmful...

to isolation and cgroup IO schedulers in general. The disk scheduler
is knocked out of the picture unless it can see the IO generated by
each group above it. The world of memcg-aware writeback stacked on
top of block-cgroups is a complicated one. Throttling in
balance_dirty_pages() will likely be a non-starter for current users
of group-aware CFQ.

I'd like a discussion that covers the system-wide view of:

memory
-> memcg groups
-> block cgroups
-> multiple block devices
