[PATCH V3 0/4] block: make loop block device cgroup aware

[Shaohua Li]

From: Shaohua Li <shli@xxxxxx>

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

V2->V3:
- Make the API more robust pointed out by Tejun

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

  kthread: add a mechanism to store cgroup info
