[RFC PATCH v3 5/6] blk-cgroup: share blkg creation between lookup and config prep
From: Yu Kuai
Date: Sun Aug 23 2026 - 11:30:26 EST
From: Yu Kuai <yukuai@xxxxxxx>
blkg_conf_prep() open-codes the same parent walk and blkg creation that
blkg_lookup_create() now performs. Give blkg_lookup_create() an out
parameter for the created/found blkg and have it report whether the target
blkg was created or found (returning the closest existing blkg in the out
parameter on failure), then have blkg_conf_prep() use the helper and treat
errors as config failures.
This keeps the bio association path's closest-blkg fallback and removes the
duplicate config path loop.
