blkcg: introduce blkg_stat and blkg_rwstat
blkcg uses u64_stats_sync to avoid reading wrong u64 statistic values
on 32bit archs and some stat counters have subtypes to distinguish
read/writes and sync/async IOs. The stat code paths are confusing and
involve a lot of going back and forth between blkcg core and specific
policy implementations, and synchronization and subtype handling are
open coded in blkcg core.
This patch introduces struct blkg_stat and blkg_rwstat which, with
accompanying operations, encapsulate stat updating and accessing with
proper synchronization.
blkg_stat is simple u64 counter with 64bit read-access protection.
blkg_rwstat is the one with rw and [a]sync subcounters and takes @rw
flags to distinguish IO subtypes (%REQ_WRITE and %REQ_SYNC) and
replaces stat_sub_type indexed arrays.
All counters in blkio_group_stats and blkio_group_stats_cpu are
replaced with either blkg_stat or blkg_rwstat along with all users.
This does add one u64_stats_sync per counter and increase stats_sync
operations but they're empty/noops on 64bit archs and blkcg doesn't
have too many counters, especially with DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP off.
While the currently resulting code isn't necessarily simpler at the
moment, this will enable further clean up of blkcg stats code.
- BLKIO_STAT_{READ|WRITE|SYNC|ASYNC|TOTAL} renamed to
BLKG_RWSTAT_{READ|WRITE|SYNC|ASYNC|TOTAL}.
- blkg_stat_add() replaces blkio_add_stat() and
blkio_check_and_dec_stat(). Note that BUG_ON() on underflow in the
latter function no longer exists. It's *way* better to have
underflowed stat counters than oopsing.
- blkio_group_stats->dequeue is now a proper u64 stat counter instead
of ulong.
- reset_stats() updated to clear each stat counters individually and
BLKG_STATS_DEBUG_CLEAR_{START|SIZE} are removed.
- Some functions reconstruct rw flags from direction and sync
booleans. This will be removed by future patches.
