Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 5/8] blk-cgroup: allocate blkgs in blkg_create
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 20:30:34 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724123037.3004560-6-yukuai@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260724123037.3004560-1-yukuai@kernel.org>

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai@fygo.io>

Move blkg allocation into blkg_create() and have it take a gfp_t mask, so
that the caller controls whether creation may sleep. blkg_create() now
always allocates the blkg itself instead of sometimes receiving a
preallocated one, which lets the lookup and config paths drop their open-
coded preallocation and retry loops.

blkg_lookup_create() and the root-blkg setup use GFP_NOIO (or GFP_KERNEL
for the root) so they do not recurse into IO reclaim; the nowait submit
path, added later, will use GFP_ATOMIC.
