From: Yu Kuai <[email protected]> This RFC is a preparatory series for the blkcg_mutex conversion proposed in the blkcg_mutex RFC v2 series [1]. That series moves queue-local blkg topology synchronization from q->queue_lock to q->blkcg_mutex. A direct conversion is awkward while bios store queue-local blkg references, because bio allocation, bio_set_dev(), remap and clone paths can run in contexts where creating a missing blkg must not sleep or is unnecessary. This set makes the bio association queue-independent by storing the blkcg in the bio instead of a blkg. A blkg is looked up from the bio's blkcg and current bdev only when blkcg policy or accounting code needs it. The first successful policy lookup pins the blkg with a bio-owned reference tracked by BIO_BLKG_REF; the reference is dropped when the bio cgroup association is cleared or when bio_set_dev() changes the lookup key. Patch 1 adds accessors for the current bio cgroup state and factors out the release path. Patch 2 switches the stored bio association from blkg to blkcg, adds lookup/create helpers for policy users, and converts the blkcg policies and cloned-bio users. Patch 3 moves async bio punt state from blkg to blkcg so punted bios do not instantiate a queue-local blkg when no policy needs one. This is v1 of this preparatory set; there is no previous version.
