Thanks! this is surely a valuable task.

Your procedure is correct. Anyway, you found a known bug in io-throttle v11. If you want to properly use it you need to mount the memory controller together with blockio, since currently blockio depends on it to retrieve the owner of a page during writes in submit_bio().
As reported in:
[PATCH -mm 4/6] memcg: interface to charge the right cgroup of asynchronous i/o activity
this is no more than a hack and in perspective a more generic framework able to provide this functionality should be used (i.e. bio-cgroup).
I'll fix this issue in the next version of io-throttle (probably I'll try to rewrite io-throttle on top of bio-cgroup), but for now the workaround is to mount the cgroupfs using -o blockio,memory (at least).

The testing of iops limiting is not yet implemented and I don't have a very good testcase for this, but I can share with you a small script that I'm using to check if iops limiting is working or not, if you're interested.
Thanks, -Andrea
