/*
 * 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.
