To add a Tested-by tag, how much test do we actually need?
We've already done several tests of dm-ioband:
  Proportional I/O bandwidth controlling
  Loading/unloading driver and changing settings while under I/O load
  Bounds checking of setting parameters
  Benchmarks
Do you think these are enough for adding the tag?
It's very difficult for me to determine whether it's qualified or not.
It would be helpful if you could give me some advice.

Thanks,
Ryo Tsuruta
