Subject: [PATCH 0/5] blkcg: Limit maximum number of aio requests available
 for cgroup

Hi,

this patch set introduces accounting aio_nr and aio_max_nr per blkio cgroup.
It may be used to limit number of aio requests, which are available for
a cgroup, and could be useful for containers.

The accounting is hierarchical, and aio contexts, allocated in child cgroup,
are accounted in parent cgroups too.

Also, new cgroup file "io.aio_nr" is introduced. It's used to set cgroup
aio requests limit, to show current limit and number of currenly occupied
requests.

Patches 1-3 are refactoring.
Patch 4 is the place where the accounting actually introduced.
Patch 5 adds "io.aio_nr" file.
