oops, your review period takes too long(> 1 month), :-(

I think the above is wrong since it simply override the existed dispatched
bytes/ios.

The calculation can be understood from two ways:

1) delta = calculate_bytes_allowed(bps_limit, jiffy_elapsed) - tg->bytes_disp[rw];

`delta` represents difference between theoretical and actual dispatch bytes.

If `delta` > 0, it means we dispatch too less in past, and we have to subtract
`delta` from ->bytes_disp, so that in future we can dispatch more.

Similar with 'delta < 0'.

2) from consumer viewpoint:

tg_within_bps_limit(): patched

	...
	bytes_allowed = calculate_bytes_allowed(bps_limit, jiffy_elapsed_rnd);
	if (bytes_allowed > 0 && tg->bytes_disp[rw] + bio_size <= bytes_allowed)
		...

tg_within_bps_limit(): before patched
	...
    bytes_allowed = calculate_bytes_allowed(bps_limit, jiffy_elapsed_rnd) +
		tg->carryover_bytes[rw];
	if (bytes_allowed > 0 && tg->bytes_disp[rw] + bio_size <= bytes_allowed)
		...

So if `delta` is subtracted from `bytes_allowed` in patched code, we should
subtract same bytes from ->byte_disp[] side for maintaining the relation.

As I explained, the patched code follows the original carryover calculation, and it
passes all throt blktests.

Or do you have test case broken by this patch?



Thanks.
