Subject: [PATCH] blkcg: allocate struct blkcg_gq outside request queue spinlock
blkg_conf_prep() currently calls blkg_lookup_create() while holding
request queue spinlock. This means allocating memory for struct
blkcg_gq has to be made non-blocking. This causes occasional -ENOMEM
failures in call paths like below:
pcpu_alloc+0x68f/0x710
__alloc_percpu_gfp+0xd/0x10
__percpu_counter_init+0x55/0xc0
cfq_pd_alloc+0x3b2/0x4e0
blkg_alloc+0x187/0x230
blkg_create+0x489/0x670
blkg_lookup_create+0x9a/0x230
blkg_conf_prep+0x1fb/0x240
__cfqg_set_weight_device.isra.105+0x5c/0x180
cfq_set_weight_on_dfl+0x69/0xc0
cgroup_file_write+0x39/0x1c0
kernfs_fop_write+0x13f/0x1d0
__vfs_write+0x23/0x120
vfs_write+0xc2/0x1f0
SyS_write+0x44/0xb0
entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x18/0xad
In the code path above, percpu allocator cannot call vmalloc() due to
queue spinlock.
A failure in this call path gives grief to tools which are trying to
configure io weights. We see occasional failures happen shortly after
reboots even when system is not under any memory pressure. Machines
with a lot of cpus are more vulnerable to this condition.
Do struct blkcg_gq allocations outside the queue spinlock to allow blocking
during memory allocations.
