From: Li Lingfeng <lilingfeng3@xxxxxxxxxx>
The list corruption described in commit 6da668063279 ("blk-cgroup: fix
list corruption from resetting io stat") has no effect. It's unnecessary
to fix it.
As for cgroup v1, it does not use iostat any more after commit
ad7c3b41e86b("blk-throttle: Fix io statistics for cgroup v1"), so using
memset to clear iostat has no real effect.
As for cgroup v2, it will not call blkcg_reset_stats() to corrupt the
list.
The list of root cgroup can be used by both cgroup v1 and v2 while
non-root cgroup can't since it must be removed before switch between
cgroup v1 and v2.
So it may has effect if the list of root used by cgroup v2 was corrupted
after switching to cgroup v1, and switch back to cgroup v2 to use the
corrupted list again.
However, the root cgroup will not use the list any more after commit
ef45fe470e1e("blk-cgroup: show global disk stats in root cgroup io.stat").
Although this has no negative effect, it is not necessary. Remove the
related code.
