blk-cgroup: Properly propagate the iostat update up the hierarchy
[ Upstream commit 9d230c09964e6e18c8f6e4f0d41ee90eef45ec1c ]
During a cgroup_rstat_flush() call, the lowest level of nodes are flushed
first before their parents. Since commit 3b8cc6298724 ("blk-cgroup:
Optimize blkcg_rstat_flush()"), iostat propagation was still done to
the parent. Grandparent, however, may not get the iostat update if the
parent has no blkg_iostat_set queued in its lhead lockless list.
Fix this iostat propagation problem by queuing the parent's global
blkg->iostat into one of its percpu lockless lists to make sure that
the delta will always be propagated up to the grandparent and so on
toward the root blkcg.
Note that successive calls to __blkcg_rstat_flush() are serialized by
the cgroup_rstat_lock. So no special barrier is used in the reading
and writing of blkg->iostat.lqueued.
