Hello Pradeep, you might be interested in my work on refactoring the
block layer's throttling interface in my series:

Sure will have a look.
In this series you copy the existing legacy interface we want to get rid
of. I think it will be easier work for you to use the changes introduced
in my patches when they are merged.
So, should I wait till they are in?. Actually my throttle patches for
fsdev are already upstream (2.9). Now I am just introducing the qmp/hmp
interfaces for the same.
Have you thought about using throttle groups? It'd mean many devices
sharing the same limits. This way the interfaces can be unified. Please
read docs/throttle.txt and see if it would be useful for you.
I have read about the throttle group, last year when I was implementing
the throttle feature for fsdev.My open source work depends on the
projects I/my group work on. So, when I have more bandwidth work on
those, I will surely take it up. Throttle group option may be useful
feature even in case of fsdev devices.
Regards,
Pradeep
