Hi,

The IO dispatched to under layer disk by loop block device isn't cloned from
original bio, so the IO loses cgroup information of original bio. These IO
escapes from cgroup control. The patches try to address this issue. The idea is
quite generic, but we currently only make it work for blkcg.

Thanks,
Shaohua

V1->V2:
- Address a couple of issues pointed out by Tejun

Shaohua Li (4):
kthread: add a mechanism to store cgroup info
blkcg: delete unused APIs
block: make blkcg aware of kthread stored original cgroup info
block/loop: make loop cgroup aware
