[PATCH UPDATED 14/16] blkcg: don't allow or retain configurationof missing devices

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Tue Jan 24 2012 - 14:31:04 EST


blkcg is very peculiar in that it allows setting and remembering
configurations for non-existent devices by maintaining separate data
structures for configuration.

This behavior is completely out of the usual norms and outright
confusing; furthermore, it uses dev_t number to match the
configuration to devices, which is unpredictable to begin with and
becomes completely unuseable if EXT_DEVT is fully used.

It is wholely unnecessary - we already have fully functional userland
mechanism to program devices being hotplugged which has full access to
device identification, connection topology and filesystem information.

Add a new struct blkio_group_conf which contains all blkcg
configurations to blkio_group and let blkio_group, which can be
created iff the associated device exists and is removed when the
associated device goes away, carry all configurations.

Note that, after this patch, all newly created blkg's will always have
the default configuration (unlimited for throttling and blkcg's weight
for propio).

This patch makes blkio_policy_node meaningless but doesn't remove it.
The next patch will.

-v2: Updated to retry after short sleep if blkg lookup/creation failed
due to the queue being temporarily bypassed as indicated by
-EBUSY return. Pointed out by Vivek.

Alright, these three updates should solve the problem. Git branch
updated accordingly. I'll repost the whole series once things settle
down.

Thanks.
