blkcg: alloc per cpu stats from worker thread in a delayed manner
Current per cpu stat allocation assumes GFP_KERNEL allocation flag. But in IO path there are times when we want GFP_NOIO semantics. As there is no way to pass the allocation flags to alloc_percpu(), this patch delays the allocation of stats using a worker thread. v2-> tejun suggested following changes. Changed the patch accordingly. - move alloc_node location in structure - reduce the size of names of some of the fields - Reduce the scope of locking of alloc_list_lock - Simplified stat_alloc_fn() by allocating stats for all policies in one go and then assigning these to a group. v3 -> Andrew suggested to put some comments in the code. Also raised concerns about trying to allocate infinitely in case of allocation failure. I have changed the logic to sleep for 10ms before retrying. That should take care of non-preemptible UP kernels. v4 -> Tejun had more suggestions. - drop list_for_each_entry_all() - instead of msleep() use queue_delayed_work() - Some cleanups realted to more compact coding. v5-> tejun suggested more cleanups leading to more compact code. tj: - Relocated pcpu_stats into blkio_stat_alloc_fn(). - Minor comment update. - This also fixes suspicious RCU usage warning caused by invoking cgroup_path() from blkg_alloc() without holding RCU read lock. Now that blkg_alloc() doesn't require sleepable context, RCU read lock from blkg_lookup_create() is maintained throughout blkg_alloc().
