blkcg: make blkcg_gq's hierarchical
Currently a child blkg (blkcg_gq) can be created even if its parent doesn't exist. ie. Given a blkg, it's not guaranteed that its ancestors will exist. This makes it difficult to implement proper hierarchy support for blkcg policies. Always create blkgs recursively and make a child blkg hold a reference to its parent. blkg->parent is added so that finding the parent is easy. blkcg_parent() is also added in the process. This change can be visible to userland. e.g. while issuing IO in a nested cgroup didn't affect the ancestors at all, now it will initialize all ancestor blkgs and zero stats for the request_queue will always appear on them. While this is userland visible, this shouldn't cause any functional difference. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com>
