blkg (blkcg_gq) currently is created by blkcg policies invoking
blkg_lookup_create() which ends up repeating about the same code in
different policies. Theoretically, this can avoid the overhead of
looking and/or creating blkg's if blkcg is enabled but no policy is in
use; however, the cost of blkg lookup / creation is very low
especially if only the root blkcg is in use which is highly likely if
no blkcg policy is in active use - it boils down to a single very
predictable conditional and surrounding RCU protection.
This patch consolidates blkg creation to a new function
blkcg_bio_issue_check() which is called during bio issue from
generic_make_request_checks(). blkcg_bio_issue_check() is now the
only function which tries to create missing blkg's. The subsequent
policy and request_list operations just perform blkg_lookup() and if
missing falls back to the root.
* blk_get_rl() no longer tries to create blkg. It uses blkg_lookup()
instead of blkg_lookup_create().
* blk_throtl_bio() is now called from blkcg_bio_issue_check() with rcu
read locked and blkg already looked up. Both throtl_lookup_tg() and
throtl_lookup_create_tg() are dropped.
* cfq is similarly updated. cfq_lookup_create_cfqg() is replaced with
cfq_lookup_cfqg()which uses blkg_lookup().
This consolidates blkg handling and avoids unnecessary blkg creation
retries under memory pressure. In addition, this provides a common
bio entry point into blkcg where things like common accounting can be
performed.
v2: Build fixes for !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED and
!CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING.

Currently, both throttle and cfq policies implement their own root
blkg (blkcg_gq) lookup fast path. This patch moves root blkg
optimization from throtl_lookup_tg() to __blkg_lookup(). cfq-iosched
currently doesn't use blkg_lookup() but will be converted and drop the
optimization too.

blkg_lookup() checks whether the target queue is bypassing and, if
not, calls __blkg_lookup() which first checks the lookup hint and then
performs radix tree walk. The operations upto hint checking are
trivial and there are many users of this function. This patch inlines
blkg_lookup() and the fast path part of __blkg_lookup(). The radix
tree lookup and hint update are now in blkg_lookup_slowpath().
This will help consolidating blkg handling by easing moving root blkcg
short-circuit to inlined lookup fast path.

Each active policy has a cpd (blkcg_policy_data) on each blkcg. The
cpd's were allocated by blkcg core and each policy could request to
allocate extra space at the end by setting blkcg_policy->cpd_size
larger than the size of cpd.
This is a bit unusual but blkg (blkcg_gq) policy data used to be
handled this way too so it made sense to be consistent; however, blkg
policy data switched to alloc/free callbacks.
This patch makes similar changes to cpd handling.
blkcg_policy->cpd_alloc/free_fn() are added to replace ->cpd_size. As
cpd allocation is now done from policy side, it can simply allocate a
larger area which embeds cpd at the beginning.
As ->cpd_alloc_fn() may be able to perform all necessary
initializations, this patch makes ->cpd_init_fn() optional.

The newly added ->pd_alloc_fn() and ->pd_free_fn() deal with pd
(blkg_policy_data) while the older ones use blkg (blkcg_gq). As using
blkg doesn't make sense for ->pd_alloc_fn() and after allocation pd
can always be mapped to blkg and given that these are policy-specific
methods, it makes sense to converge on pd.
This patch makes all methods deal with pd instead of blkg. Most
conversions are trivial. In blk-cgroup.c, a couple method invocation
sites now test whether pd exists instead of policy state for
consistency. This shouldn't cause any behavioral differences.

With the recent addition of alloc and free methods, things became
messier. This patch reorganizes them according to the followings.
* ->pd_alloc_fn()
Responsible for allocation and static initializations - the ones
which can be done independent of where the pd might be attached.
* ->pd_init_fn()
Initializations which require the knowledge of where the pd is
attached.
* ->pd_free_fn()
The counter part of pd_alloc_fn(). Static de-init and freeing.
This leaves ->pd_exit_fn() without any users. Removed.
While at it, collapse an one liner function throtl_pd_exit(), which
has only one user, into its user.

A blkg (blkcg_gq) represents the relationship between a cgroup and
request_queue. Each active policy has a pd (blkg_policy_data) on each
blkg. The pd's were allocated by blkcg core and each policy could
request to allocate extra space at the end by setting
blkcg_policy->pd_size larger than the size of pd.
This is a bit unusual but was done this way mostly to simplify error
handling and all the existing use cases could be handled this way;
however, this is becoming too restrictive now that percpu memory can
be allocated without blocking.
This introduces two new mandatory blkcg_policy methods - pd_alloc_fn()
and pd_free_fn() - which are used to allocate and release pd for a
given policy. As pd allocation is now done from policy side, it can
simply allocate a larger area which embeds pd at the beginning. This
change makes ->pd_size pointless. Removed.

When a policy gets activated, it needs to allocate and install its
policy data on all existing blkg's (blkcg_gq's). Because blkg
iteration is protected by a spinlock, it currently counts the total
number of blkg's in the system, allocates the matching number of
policy data on a list and installs them during a single iteration.
This can be simplified by using speculative GFP_NOWAIT allocations
while iterating and falling back to a preallocated policy data on
failure. If the preallocated one has already been consumed, it
releases the lock, preallocate with GFP_KERNEL and then restarts the
iteration. This can be a bit more expensive than before but policy
activation is a very cold path and shouldn't matter.

e48453c386 ("block, cgroup: implement policy-specific per-blkcg
data") updated per-blkcg policy data to be dynamically allocated.
When a policy is registered, its policy data aren't created. Instead,
when the policy is activated on a queue, the policy data are allocated
if there are blkg's (blkcg_gq's) which are attached to a given blkcg.
This is buggy. Consider the following scenario.
1. A blkcg is created. No blkg's attached yet.
2. The policy is registered. No policy data is allocated.
3. The policy is activated on a queue. As the above blkcg doesn't
have any blkg's, it won't allocate the matching blkcg_policy_data.
4. An IO is issued from the blkcg and blkg is created and the blkcg
still doesn't have the matching policy data allocated.
With cfq-iosched, this leads to an oops.
It also doesn't free policy data on policy unregistration assuming
that freeing of all policy data on blkcg destruction should take care
of it; however, this also is incorrect.
1. A blkcg has policy data.
2. The policy gets unregistered but the policy data remains.
3. Another policy gets registered on the same slot.
4. Later, the new policy tries to allocate policy data on the previous
blkcg but the slot is already occupied and gets skipped. The
policy ends up operating on the policy data of the previous policy.
There's no reason to manage blkcg_policy_data lazily. The reason we
do lazy allocation of blkg's is that the number of all possible blkg's
is the product of cgroups and block devices which can reach a
surprising level. blkcg_policy_data is contrained by the number of
cgroups and shouldn't be a problem.
This patch makes blkcg_policy_data to be allocated for all existing
blkcg's on policy registration and freed on unregistration and removes
blkcg_policy_data handling from policy [de]activation paths. This
makes that blkcg_policy_data are created and removed with the policy
they belong to and fixes the above described problems.

A blkg (blkcg_gq) can be congested and decongested independently from
other blkgs on the same request_queue. Accordingly, for cgroup
writeback support, the congestion status at bdi (backing_dev_info)
should be split and updated separately from matching blkg's.
This patch prepares by adding blkg->wb_congested and associating a
blkg with its matching per-blkcg bdi_writeback_congested on creation.
v2: Updated to associate bdi_writeback_congested instead of
bdi_writeback.

For the planned cgroup writeback support, on each bdi
(backing_dev_info), each memcg will be served by a separate wb
(bdi_writeback). This patch updates bdi so that a bdi can host
multiple wbs (bdi_writebacks).
On the default hierarchy, blkcg implicitly enables memcg. This allows
using memcg's page ownership for attributing writeback IOs, and every
memcg - blkcg combination can be served by its own wb by assigning a
dedicated wb to each memcg. This means that there may be multiple
wb's of a bdi mapped to the same blkcg. As congested state is per
blkcg - bdi combination, those wb's should share the same congested
state. This is achieved by tracking congested state via
bdi_writeback_congested structs which are keyed by blkcg.
bdi->wb remains unchanged and will keep serving the root cgroup.
cgwb's (cgroup wb's) for non-root cgroups are created on-demand or
looked up while dirtying an inode according to the memcg of the page
being dirtied or current task. Each cgwb is indexed on bdi->cgwb_tree
by its memcg id. Once an inode is associated with its wb, it can be
retrieved using inode_to_wb().
Currently, none of the filesystems has FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK and all
pages will keep being associated with bdi->wb.
v3: inode_attach_wb() in account_page_dirtied() moved inside
mapping_cap_account_dirty() block where it's known to be !NULL.
Also, an unnecessary NULL check before kfree() removed. Both
detected by the kbuild bot.
v2: Updated so that wb association is per inode and wb is per memcg
rather than blkcg.

writeback support and the current set of dummy declarations aren't
enough to handle different config combinations. Update as follows.
* Drop the struct cgroup declaration. None of the dummy defs need it.
