[PATCH v3 03/12] block/cgroup: Split blkg_conf_prep()

Bart Van Assche
2026-04-02T18:40:19Z

Move the blkg_conf_open_bdev() call out of blkg_conf_prep() to make it
possible to add lock context annotations to blkg_conf_prep(). Change an
if-statement in blkg_conf_open_bdev() into a WARN_ON_ONCE() call. Export
blkg_conf_open_bdev() because it is called by the BFQ I/O scheduler and
the BFQ I/O scheduler may be built as a kernel module.
