Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 5/6] blk-cgroup: share blkg creation between lookup and config prep
Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2026 23:29:24 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260823152926.1043863-6-yukuai@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260823152926.1043863-1-yukuai@kernel.org>

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai@fygo.io>

blkg_conf_prep() open-codes the same parent walk and blkg creation that
blkg_lookup_create() now performs. Give blkg_lookup_create() an out
parameter for the created/found blkg and have it report whether the target
blkg was created or found (returning the closest existing blkg in the out
parameter on failure), then have blkg_conf_prep() use the helper and treat
errors as config failures.

This keeps the bio association path's closest-blkg fallback and removes the
duplicate config path loop.
