[PATCH 4/4] blkcg: use radix tree to index blkgs from blkcg

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Thu Apr 19 2012 - 19:29:38 EST


blkg lookup is currently performed by traversing linked list anchored
at blkcg->blkg_list. This is very unscalable and with blk-throttle
enabled and enough request queues on the system, this can get very
ugly quickly (blk-throttle performs look up on every bio submission).

This patch makes blkcg use radix tree to index blkgs combined with
simple last-looked-up hint. This is mostly identical to how icqs are
indexed from ioc.

Note that because __blkg_lookup() may be invoked without holding queue
lock, hint is only updated from __blkg_lookup_create(). Due to cfq's
cfqq caching, this makes hint updates overly lazy. This will be
improved with scheduled blkcg aware request allocation.
