9f13ef678e blkcg: use double locking instead of RCU for blkg synchronization
blkgs are chained from both blkcgs and request_queues and thus
subjected to two locks - blkcg->lock and q->queue_lock.  As both blkcg
and q can go away anytime, locking during removal is tricky.  It's
currently solved by wrapping removal inside RCU, which makes the
synchronization complex.  There are three locks to worry about - the
outer RCU, q lock and blkcg lock, and it leads to nasty subtle
complications like conditional synchronize_rcu() on queue exit paths.

For all other paths, blkcg lock is naturally nested inside q lock and
the only exception is blkcg removal path, which is a very cold path
and can be implemented as clumsy but conceptually-simple reverse
double lock dancing.

This patch updates blkg removal path such that blkgs are removed while
holding both q and blkcg locks, which is trivial for request queue
exit path - blkg_destroy_all().  The blkcg removal path,
blkiocg_pre_destroy(), implements reverse double lock dancing
essentially identical to ioc_release_fn().

This simplifies blkg locking - no half-dead blkgs to worry about.  Now
unnecessary RCU annotations will be removed by the next patch.

c1768268f9 blkcg: don't use blkg->plid in stat related functions
blkg is scheduled to be unified for all policies and thus there won't
be one-to-one mapping from blkg to policy.  Update stat related
functions to take explicit @pol or @plid arguments and not use
blkg->plid.

This is painful for now but most of specific stat interface functions
will be replaced with a handful of generic helpers.

cd1604fab4 blkcg: factor out blkio_group creation
Currently both blk-throttle and cfq-iosched implement their own
blkio_group creation code in throtl_get_tg() and cfq_get_cfqg().  This
patch factors out the common code into blkg_lookup_create(), which
returns ERR_PTR value so that transitional failures due to queue
bypass can be distinguished from other failures.

* New plkio_policy_ops methods blkio_alloc_group_fn() and
  blkio_link_group_fn added.  Both are transitional and will be
  removed once the blkg management code is fully moved into
  blk-cgroup.c.

* blkio_alloc_group_fn() allocates policy-specific blkg which is
  usually a larger data structure with blkg as the first entry and
  intiailizes it.  Note that initialization of blkg proper, including
  percpu stats, is responsibility of blk-cgroup proper.

  Note that default config (weight, bps...) initialization is done
  from this method; otherwise, we end up violating locking order
  between blkcg and q locks via blkcg_get_CONF() functions.

* blkio_link_group_fn() is called under queue_lock and responsible for
  linking the blkg to the queue.  blkcg side is handled by blk-cgroup
  proper.

* The common blkg creation function is named blkg_lookup_create() and
  blkiocg_lookup_group() is renamed to blkg_lookup() for consistency.
  Also, throtl / cfq related functions are similarly [re]named for
  consistency.

This simplifies blkcg policy implementations and enables further
cleanup.

-v2: Vivek noticed that blkg_lookup_create() incorrectly tested
     blk_queue_dead() instead of blk_queue_bypass() leading a user of
     the function ending up creating a new blkg on bypassing queue.
     This is a bug introduced while relocating bypass patches before
     this one.  Fixed.

-v3: ERR_PTR patch folded into this one.  @for_root added to
     blkg_lookup_create() to allow creating root group on a bypassed
     queue during elevator switch.

ca32aefc7f blkcg: use q and plid instead of opaque void * for blkio_group association
blkgio_group is association between a block cgroup and a queue for a
given policy.  Using opaque void * for association makes things
confusing and hinders factoring of common code.  Use request_queue *
and, if necessary, policy id instead.

This will help block cgroup API cleanup.

167400d340 blk-cgroup: Add unaccounted time to timeslice_used.
There are two kind of times that tasks are not charged for: the first
seek and the extra time slice used over the allocated timeslice. Both
of these exported as a new unaccounted_time stat.

I think it would be good to have this reported in 'time' as well, but
that is probably a separate discussion.

062a644d61 blk-cgroup: Prepare the base for supporting more than one IO control policies
o This patch prepares the base for introducing new IO control policies.
  Currently all the code is written knowing there is only one policy
  and that is proportional bandwidth. Creating infrastructure for newer
  policies to come in.

o Also there were many functions which were generated using macro. It was
  very confusing. Got rid of those.

e98ef89b30 cfq-iosched: Fixed boot warning with BLK_CGROUP=y and CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED=n
Hi Jens,

Few days back Ingo noticed a CFQ boot time warning. This patch fixes it.
The issue here is that with CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED=n, CFQ should not really
be making blkio stat related calls.
