If we're going to take this route, I think the right thing to do is passing down @gfp_mask all the way down to blkg_create(). > @@ -789,6 +816,7 @@ int blkg_conf_prep(struct blkcg *blkcg, const struct blkcg_policy *pol, > { > struct gendisk *disk; > struct blkcg_gq *blkg; > + struct request_queue *q; > struct module *owner; > unsigned int major, minor; > int key_len, part, ret; > @@ -812,18 +840,27 @@ int blkg_conf_prep(struct blkcg *blkcg, const struct blkcg_policy *pol, > return -ENODEV; > } > > + q = disk->queue; > + > rcu_read_lock(); > - spin_lock_irq(disk->queue->queue_lock); > + spin_lock_irq(q->queue_lock); > > - if (blkcg_policy_enabled(disk->queue, pol)) > - blkg = blkg_lookup_create(blkcg, disk->queue); > - else > + if (blkcg_policy_enabled(q, pol)) { > + blkg = blkg_lookup_create(blkcg, q, true /* wait_ok */); > + > + /* > + * blkg_lookup_create() may have dropped and reacquired the > + * queue lock.

This also means that the init path can simply pass in GFP_KERNEL. Thanks. -- tejun
