destroy_workqueue() implies draining, so the explicit flush isn't
necessary.

Given that these can be pretty cpu intensive and a single work item
can be saturated by multiple cpus keepings queueing bios, it probably
would be better to use an unbound workqueue (WQ_UNBOUND) and let the
scheduler figure out.

I'd just call queue_work() without the preceding check. Trying to
requeue an active work item is pretty cheap.

This isn't necessary, right?

We usually use blkcg_css as the name.

I'd keep only the inner parentheses.

Maybe goto and unindent else block?

I think the gpf flag combo you wanna use is GFP_NOWAIT | __GFP_NOWARN
- we don't wanna enter direct reclaim from here or generate warnings.
Also, I personally tend to use kzalloc() for small stuff by default as
it doesn't really cost anything while making things easier / safer
later when adding new fields, but up to you.

Maybe blkcg_css_id would be clearer? Your call for sure tho.

It might be better to share the above two lines between existing and
new worker paths. I think you're missing queue_work() for the former.

memcg_css is what we've been using; however, I kinda like blk/mem_css.
Maybe we should rename the others. Please feel free to leave as-is.

Maybe break here and cleanup at the end of the function?

I wonder whether we wanna keep them around for a bit. A lot of IO
patterns involve brief think times between accesses and this would be
constantly creating and destroying constantly.

I think we can set this at the head of the function and

restore them before returning.

Can you please mention the above in the changelog? Also, it'd be great
to have rationales there too.
Thanks.
