[PATCH 04/12] blkcg: make blkcg_gq's hierarchical

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Fri Dec 14 2012 - 17:44:38 EST


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.
