In order to avoid code duplication and IOPS stability problems caused by estimating
the equivalent number of IOs, and to avoid potential deadlock problems caused by
synchronization through queue_lock. I tried to count the number of splited IOs in
the current window through two atomic counters. Add the value of the atomic variable
when calculating io_disp[rw], which can also avoid the problem of inaccurate IOPS in
large IO scenarios. How do you think of this approach? Thanks for your time.

I guess it's okay but am still not a big fan of adding another hook. This is
primarily because blk-throtl is sitting too early in the stack - e.g. rq_qos
is doing the same thing but sits after the split path - and it's a bit nasty
to add an additional hook for it.

Do you think it can be an option to relocate the blk-throtl hooks to the
same spots as rq-qos or, even better, make it use rq-qos?

Thanks.
