From 3c547865902e9fc30dc15941f326fd8039c6628d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Wed, 9 Jan 2013 08:05:10 -0800 Subject: blkcg: make blkcg_gq's hierarchical Currently a child blkg (blkcg_gq) can be created even if its parent doesn't exist. ie. Given a blkg, it's not guaranteed that its ancestors will exist. This makes it difficult to implement proper hierarchy support for blkcg policies. Always create blkgs recursively and make a child blkg hold a reference to its parent. blkg->parent is added so that finding the parent is easy. blkcg_parent() is also added in the process. This change can be visible to userland. e.g. while issuing IO in a nested cgroup didn't affect the ancestors at all, now it will initialize all ancestor blkgs and zero stats for the request_queue will always appear on them. While this is userland visible, this shouldn't cause any functional difference.
