Subject: [PATCH 1/9] 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.
