Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 4/4] blk-cgroup: move async bio punt state to blkcg
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 14:47:44 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260811064744.1139446-5-yukuai@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260811064744.1139446-1-yukuai@kernel.org>
From: Yu Kuai <yukuai@fygo.io>
blkcg_punt_bio_submit() currently queues punted bios on blkg->async_bios,
so it has to call bio_blkg() to find or create a queue-local blkg. Bios
now carry and pin the blkcg css, so punted bio lifetime no longer needs to
be anchored by a blkg.
Keeping the punt state in blkg can instantiate a blkg even when no blkcg
policy is enabled, just to bounce submission from a shared kthread. Move
async_bio_lock, async_bios and async_bio_work to struct blkcg, and queue
punted bios on bio_blkcg() for non-root cgroups. Root or unassociated bios
are submitted directly.
This preserves the priority-inversion avoidance while preventing
blkcg_punt_bio_submit() from creating blkgs that are not needed by any
policy.
