A wbc (writeback_control) is constructed at the beginning of writeback
and passed throughout the writeback path. It serves as the control
structure carrying both in and out parameters for writeback of each
inode. This patch adds wbc->iwbl so that it also carries the cgroup
writeback context.
wbc_set_iwbl(), which is called by writeback_sb_inodes() while kicking
off writeback of each inode, associates the wbc with the iwbl
(inode_wb_link) being serviced. inode_writeback_iwbl() and
bdi_writeback_wb() are used to determine the iwbl from inode and wb
(bdi_writeback) from bdi being serviced considering wbc->iwbl. If the
wbc has a specific iwbl associated with it, the iwbl is used to
determine them; otherwise, the root cgroup is assumed.
This allows accessing the current cgroup wb and iwbl being serviced
throughout the writeback path. __writeback_single_inode(), which used
to assume the root iwbl, are updated to use inode_writeback_iwbl().
writeback_single_inode() now also uses inode_wirteback_iwbl() and
drops @wb and determines it using iwbl_to_wb() instead. For
clear_page_dirty_for_io() which used to re-lookup the dirty wb using
page_cgwb_dirty(), a new function, clear_page_dirty_for_io_wbc() which
takes additional @wbc and uses bdi_writeback_wb(), is added.
This patch also adds wbc_blkcg_css() which determines whether the
current writebfffack is for a specific cgroup and which cgroup. This
will be used by future patches.
This propagates the cgroup writeback context throughout most of
writeback path so that the cgroup specific data is accessible without
repeating lookups from page blkcg.
