+/**
+ * gfs2_rgrp_congested - Use stats to figure out whether an rgrp is congested
+ * @rgd: The rgrp in question
+ * @loops: An indication of how picky we can be (0=very, 1=less so)
+ *
+ * This function uses the recently added glock statistics in order to
+ * figure out whether a parciular resource group is suffering from
+ * contention from multiple nodes. This is done purely on the basis
+ * of timings, since this is the only data we have to work with and
+ * our aim here is to reject a resource group which is highly contended
+ * but (very important) not to do this too often in order to ensure that
+ * we do not land up introducing fragmentation by changing resource
+ * groups when not actually required.
+ *
+ * The calculation is fairly simple, we want to know whether the SRTTB
+ * (i.e. smoothed round trip time for blocking operations) to acquire
+ * the lock for this rgrp's glock is significantly greater than the
+ * time taken for resource groups on average. We introduce a margin in
+ * the form of the variable @var which is computed as the sum of the two
+ * respective variences, and multiplied by a factor depending on @loops
+ * and whether we have a lot of data to base the decision on. This is
+ * then tested against the square difference of the means in order to
+ * decide whether the result is statistically significant or not.
+ *
+ * Returns: A boolean verdict on the congestion status
