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. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
