Between v3 [1] and v4 [2] of the blkg association series, the
association point moved from generic_make_request_checks(), which is
called after the request enters the queue, to bio_set_dev(), which is when
the bio is formed before submit_bio(). When the request_queue goes away,
the blkgs supporting the request_queue are destroyed and then the
q->root_blkg is set to %NULL.
This patch adds a %NULL check to blkg_tryget_closest() to prevent the
NPE caused by the above. It also adds a guard to see if the
request_queue is dying when creating a blkg to prevent creating a blkg
for a dead request_queue.

The previous patches deleted all the code that needed the second value
returned from part_in_flight - now the kernel only uses the first value.
Consequently, part_in_flight (and blk_mq_in_flight) may be changed so that
it only returns one value.
This patch just refactors the code, there's no functional change.

Now when part_round_stats is gone, we can switch to per-cpu in-flight
counters.
We use the local-atomic type local_t, so that if part_inc_in_flight or
part_dec_in_flight is reentrantly called from an interrupt, the value will
be correct.
The other counters could be corrupted due to reentrant interrupt, but the
corruption only results in slight counter skew - the in_flight counter
must be exact, so it needs local_t.

We want to convert to per-cpu in_flight counters.
The function part_round_stats needs the in_flight counter every jiffy, it
would be too costly to sum all the percpu variables every jiffy, so it
must be deleted. part_round_stats is used to calculate two counters -
time_in_queue and io_ticks.
time_in_queue can be calculated without part_round_stats, by adding the
duration of the I/O when the I/O ends (the value is almost as exact as the
previously calculated value, except that time for in-progress I/Os is not
counted).
io_ticks can be approximated by increasing the value when I/O is started
or ended and the jiffies value has changed. If the I/Os take less than a
jiffy, the value is as exact as the previously calculated value. If the
I/Os take more than a jiffy, io_ticks can drift behind the previously
calculated value.

Originally when I split out the common code from blk-wbt into rq_qos I
left the wbt_wait() where it was and simply copied and modified it
slightly to work for io-latency. However they are both basically the
same thing, and as time has gone on wbt_wait() has ended up much smarter
and kinder than it was when I copied it into io-latency, which means
io-latency has lost out on these improvements.
Since they are the same thing essentially except for a few minor things,
create rq_qos_wait() that replicates what wbt_wait() currently does with
callbacks that can be passed in for the snowflakes to do their own thing
as appropriate.

The previous patch in this series removed carrying around a pointer to
the css in blkg. However, the blkg association logic still relied on
taking a reference on the css to ensure we wouldn't fail in getting a
reference for the blkg.
Here the implicit dependency on the css is removed. The association
continues to rely on the tryget logic walking up the blkg tree. This
streamlines the three ways that association can happen: normal, swap,
and writeback.

Prior patches ensured that any bio that interacts with a request_queue
is properly associated with a blkg. This makes bio->bi_css unnecessary
as blkg maintains a reference to blkcg already.
This removes the bio field bi_css and transfers corresponding uses to

Previously, blkg association was handled by controller specific code in
blk-throttle and blk-iolatency. However, because a blkg represents a
relationship between a blkcg and a request_queue, it makes sense to keep
the blkg->q and bio->bi_disk->queue consistent.
This patch moves association into the bio_set_dev macro(). This should
cover the majority of cases where the device is set/changed keeping the
two pointers consistent. Fallback code is added to
blkcg_bio_issue_check() to catch any missing paths.

The next patch changes the macro bio_set_dev() to associate a bio with a
blkg based on the device set. However, dm creates a static bio to be
used as the basis for cloning empty flush bios on creation. The
bio_set_dev() call in alloc_dev() will cause problems with the next
patch adding association to bio_set_dev() because the call is before the
bdev is associated with a gendisk (bd_disk is %NULL). To get around
this, set the device on the static bio every time and use that to clone
to the other bios.

There are several scenarios where blkg_lookup_create() can fail such as
the blkcg dying, request_queue is dying, or simply being OOM. Most
handle this by simply falling back to the q->root_blkg and calling it a
day.
This patch implements the notion of closest blkg. During
blkg_lookup_create(), if it fails to create, return the closest blkg
found or the q->root_blkg. blkg_try_get_closest() is introduced and used
during association so a bio is always attached to a blkg.

To know when to create a blkg, the general pattern is to do a
blkg_lookup() and if that fails, lock and do the lookup again, and if
that fails finally create. It doesn't make much sense for everyone who
wants to do creation to write this themselves.
This changes blkg_lookup_create() to do locking and implement this
pattern. The old blkg_lookup_create() is renamed to
__blkg_lookup_create(). If a call site wants to do its own error
handling or already owns the queue lock, they can use
__blkg_lookup_create(). This will be used in upcoming patches.

The bio_blkcg() function turns out to be inconsistent and consequently
dangerous to use. The first part returns a blkcg where a reference is
owned by the bio meaning it does not need to be rcu protected. However,
the third case, the last line, is problematic:
return css_to_blkcg(task_css(current, io_cgrp_id));
This can race against task migration and the cgroup dying. It is also
semantically different as it must be called rcu protected and is
susceptible to failure when trying to get a reference to it.
This patch adds association ahead of calling bio_blkcg() rather than
after. This makes association a required and explicit step along the
code paths for calling bio_blkcg(). In blk-iolatency, association is
moved above the bio_blkcg() call to ensure it will not return %NULL.
BFQ uses the old bio_blkcg() function, but I do not want to address it
in this series due to the complexity. I have created a private version
documenting the inconsistency and noting not to use it.
