[RFC PATCH v1 1/3] blk-cgroup: add helpers for bio cgroup state

Yu Kuai <[email protected]> Tue, 4 Aug 2026 14:53:11 +0800
Newsgroups gmane.linux.kernel.virtualization,gmane.linux.kernel.cgroups,gmane.linux.documentation,gmane.linux.kernel,gmane.linux.block,gmane.linux.kernel.bcache.devel,gmane.linux.raid,gmane.linux.file-systems,gmane.linux.kernel.mm
Message-ID <[email protected]>
From: Yu Kuai <[email protected]>

blk-cgroup users open-code bio->bi_blkg throughout the policy and
accounting paths.  Some users need the blkg itself, while others
immediately dereference it to get the associated blkcg.  The bio release
paths also open-code the CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP guarded blkg reference drop
and field clear.

Add bio_blkg(), bio_blkcg() and bio_clear_blkg() helpers.  Convert the
read-side users to use the accessors, and use bio_clear_blkg() from
bio_uninit() and bio_endio() so the release path no longer needs to know
about CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP.  Keep the direct bio->bi_blkg stores in the
association and initialization paths, as those paths still assign the
stored association.

This keeps the current behavior unchanged while preparing for changing
what cgroup state a bio stores internally.
