Curently, iocost syncs the delay duration to the outstanding debt amount, which seemed enough to protect the system from anon memory hogs. However, that was mostly because the delay calcuation was using hweight_inuse which quickly converges towards zero under debt for delay duration calculation, often pusnishing debtors overly harshly for longer than deserved. The previous patch fixed the delay calcuation and now the protection against anonymous memory hogs isn't enough because the effect of delay is indirect and non-linear and a huge amount of future debt can accumulate abruptly while unthrottled. This patch implements delay hysteresis so that delay is decayed exponentially over time instead of getting cleared immediately as debt is paid off. While the overall behavior is similar to the blk-cgroup implementation used by blk-iolatency, a lot of the details are different and due to the empirical nature of the mechanism, it's challenging to adapt the mechanism for one controller without negatively impacting the other. As the delay is gradually decayed now, there's no point in running it from its own hrtimer. Periodic updates are now performed from ioc_timer_fn() and the dedicated hrtimer is removed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
