blk-throttle: Reset group slice when limits are changed Lina reported that if throttle limits are initially very high and then dropped, then no new bio might be dispatched for a long time. And the reason being that after dropping the limits we don't reset the existing slice and do the rate calculation with new low rate and account the bios dispatched at high rate. To fix it, reset the slice upon rate change. https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/10/298 Another problem with very high limit is that we never queued the bio on throtl service tree. That means we kept on extending the group slice but never trimmed it. Fix that also by regulary trimming the slice even if bio is not being queued up.
