v9:
- Remove patch "llist: Allow optional sentinel node terminated lockless
list" for now. This will be done as a follow-up patch.
- Add a new lqueued field to blkg_iostat_set to store the status of
whether lnode is in a lockless list.
- Add a new patch 3 to speed up the freeing of blkcg by flushing out
the rstat lockless lists at blkcg offline time.
v8:
- Update the llist patch to make existing llist functions and macros
work for both NULL and sentinel terminated lockless list as much
as possible and leave only the initialization and removal functions
to have a sentinel terminated llist variants.
v7:
- Drop patch 1 ("blk-cgroup: Correctly free percpu iostat_cpu in blkg
on error exit") as it is found to be unnecessary.
- Add a new llist patch to provide a lockless list variant terminated
by a sentinel node.
- Modified patch 3 to use the new sllist API and move percpu_ref_put()
later in the blkcg_rstat_flush() loop to prevent potential
use-after-free problem.
This patch series improves blkcg_rstat_flush() performance by eliminating
unnecessary blkg enumeration and flush operations for those blkg's and
blkg_iostat_set's that haven't been updated since the last flush.
Waiman Long (3):
blk-cgroup: Return -ENOMEM directly in blkcg_css_alloc() error path
blk-cgroup: Optimize blkcg_rstat_flush()
blk-cgroup: Flush stats at blkgs destruction path
