This patch factors out the common code into blkg_lookup_create(), which returns ERR_PTR value so that transitional failures due to queue bypass can be distinguished from other failures. * New plkio_policy_ops methods blkio_alloc_group_fn() and blkio_link_group_fn added. Both are transitional and will be removed once the blkg management code is fully moved into blk-cgroup.c. * blkio_alloc_group_fn() allocates policy-specific blkg which is usually a larger data structure with blkg as the first entry and intiailizes it. Note that initialization of blkg proper, including percpu stats, is responsibility of blk-cgroup proper. Note that default config (weight, bps...) initialization is done from this method; otherwise, we end up violating locking order between blkcg and q locks via blkcg_get_CONF() functions. * blkio_link_group_fn() is called under queue_lock and responsible for linking the blkg to the queue. blkcg side is handled by blk-cgroup proper. * The common blkg creation function is named blkg_lookup_create() and blkiocg_lookup_group() is renamed to blkg_lookup() for consistency. Also, throtl / cfq related functions are similarly [re]named for consistency. This simplifies blkcg policy implementations and enables further cleanup. -v2: Vivek noticed that blkg_lookup_create() incorrectly tested blk_queue_dead() instead of blk_queue_bypass() leading a user of the function ending up creating a new blkg on bypassing queue. This is a bug introduced while relocating bypass patches before this one. Fixed. -v3: ERR_PTR patch folded into this one. @for_root added to blkg_lookup_create() to allow creating root group on a bypassed queue during elevator switch.
