[PATCH 03/13] blkcg: convert blkg_lookup_create() to find closest blkg

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There are several scenarios where blkg_lookup_create() can fail such as
the blkcg dying, request_queue is dying, or simply being OOM. Most
handle this by simply falling back to the q->root_blkg and calling it a
day.

This patch implements the notion of closest blkg. During
blkg_lookup_create(), if it fails to create, return the closest blkg
found or the q->root_blkg. blkg_try_get_closest() is introduced and used
during association so a bio is always attached to a blkg.
