+/*
+ * buffered writeback throttling. loosely based on CoDel. We can't drop
+ * packets for IO scheduling, so the logic is something like this:
+ *
+ * - Monitor latencies in a defined window of time.
+ * - If the minimum latency in the above window exceeds some target, increment
+ * scaling step and scale down queue depth by a factor of 2x. The monitoring
+ * window is then shrunk to 100 / sqrt(scaling step + 1).
+ * - For any window where we don't have solid data on what the latencies
+ * look like, retain status quo.
+ * - If latencies look good, decrement scaling step.
+ * - If we're only doing writes, allow the scaling step to go negative. This
+ * will temporarily boost write performance, snapping back to a stable
+ * scaling step of 0 if reads show up or the heavy writers finish. Unlike
+ * positive scaling steps where we shrink the monitoring window, a negative
+ * scaling step retains the default step==0 window size.
