Thanks Fabio. This fix solves the issue for me.

I did a quick testing and I can see the differential service if I create
two cgroups of different priority. How do I map ioprio to shares? I
mean lets say one cgroup has ioprio 4 and other has got ioprio 7, then
what's the respective share(%) of each cgroup?

Thanks
Vivek
