[PATCH 4/4] blk-iolatency: Make initialization lazy

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Thu Jan 05 2023 - 16:24:58 EST


Other rq_qos policies such as wbt and iocost are lazy-initialized when they
are configured for the first time for the device but iolatency is
initialized unconditionally from blkcg_init_disk() during gendisk init. Lazy
init is beneficial because rq_qos policies add runtime overhead when
initialized as every IO has to walk all registered rq_qos callbacks.

This patch switches iolatency to lazy initialization too so that it only
registered its rq_qos policy when it is first configured.

Note that there is a known race condition between blkcg config file writes
and del_gendisk() and this patch makes iolatency susceptible to it by
exposing the init path to race against the deletion path. However, that
problem already exists in iocost and is being worked on.
