Ok. So blkg->conf.weight is set only for per device weights. For groups
using cgroup weight, I see that cfq inherits it during group creation.
Any updates to cgroup weight are sent only if per device weight is not
set. Previously we used to do this check by looking for policy node and
you are checking for blkg.weight. That clarifies it. Thank.
Thanks
