[PATCH 2/7] blkcg: use percpu_ref for blkcg_gq->refcnt

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Sun Nov 12 2017 - 17:26:36 EST


blkcg_gq->refcnt is an atomic_t. This was due to the following two
reasons.

* When blkcg_gq was added, the percpu memory allocator didn't support
allocations from !GFP_KERNEL contexts. Because blkcg_gq's are
created from IO issue paths, it couldn't use GFP_KERNEL allocations.

* A blkcg_gq represents the connection between a cgroup and a
request_queue. Because a in-flight bio already pins both, blkcg_gq
didn't usually need explicit pinning, making the use of atomic_t
acceptable albeit restrictive and fragile.

Now that the percpu allocator supports !GFP_KERNEL allocations,
there's no reason to keep using atomic_t refcnt. This will allow
clean separation between bio and request layers helping blkcg support
in blk-mq.
