As noted by Michal, the blkg_iostat_set's in the lockless list hold
reference to blkg's to protect against their removal. Those blkg's
hold reference to blkcg. When a cgroup is being destroyed,
cgroup_rstat_flush() is only called at css_release_work_fn() which
is called when the blkcg reference count reaches 0. This circular
dependency will prevent blkcg and some blkgs from being freed after
they are made offline.
It is less a problem if the cgroup to be destroyed also has other
controllers like memory that will call cgroup_rstat_flush() which will
clean up the reference count. If block is the only controller that uses
rstat, these offline blkcg and blkgs may never be freed leaking more
and more memory over time.
To prevent this potential memory leak:
- flush blkcg per-cpu stats list in __blkg_release(), when no new stat
can be added
- add global blkg_stat_lock for covering concurrent parent blkg stat
update
- don't grab bio->bi_blkg reference when adding the stats into blkcg's
per-cpu stat list since all stats are guaranteed to be consumed before
releasing blkg instance, and grabbing blkg reference for stats was the
most fragile part of original patch
