We want to support lazy init of rq-qos policies so that iolatency is enabled
lazily on configuration instead of gendisk initialization. The way blkg
config helpers are structured now is a bit awkward for that. Let's
restructure:
* blkcg_conf_open_bdev() is renamed to blkg_conf_open_bdev(). The blkcg_
prefix was used because the bdev opening step is blkg-independent.
However, the distinction is too subtle and confuses more than helps. Let's
switch to blkg prefix so that it's consistent with the type and other
helper names.
* struct blkg_conf_ctx now remembers the original input string and is always
initialized by the new blkg_conf_init().
* blkg_conf_open_bdev() is updated to take a pointer to blkg_conf_ctx like
blkg_conf_prep() and can be called multiple times safely. Instead of
modifying the double pointer to input string directly,
blkg_conf_open_bdev() now sets blkg_conf_ctx->body.
* blkg_conf_finish() is renamed to blkg_conf_exit() for symmetry and now
must be called on all blkg_conf_ctx's which were initialized with
blkg_conf_init().
Combined, this allows the users to either open the bdev first or do it
altogether with blkg_conf_prep() which will help implementing lazy init of
rq-qos policies.
blkg_conf_init/exit() will also be used implement synchronization against
device removal. This is necessary because iolat / iocost are configured
through cgroupfs instead of one of the files under /sys/block/DEVICE. As
cgroupfs operations aren't synchronized with block layer, the lazy init and
other configuration operations may race against device removal. This patch
makes blkg_conf_init/exit() used consistently for all cgroup-orginating
configurations making them a good place to implement explicit
synchronization.
Users are updated accordingly. No behavior change is intended by this patch.
v2: bfq wasn't updated in v1 causing a build error. Fixed.
v3: Update the description to include future use of blkg_conf_init/exit() as
synchronization points.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
