Subject: [PATCH] Remove blkg node after destroying blkg

Kernel hang when poweroff or reboot, due to infinite restart in function
blkg_destroy_all. It will goto restart label when a batch of blkgs are
destroyed, but not remove blkg node in blkg_list. So the blkg_list is
same in every 'restart' and result in kernel hang.

By adding list_del to remove blkg node after destroying, can solve this
kernel hang issue and satisfy the previous will to 'restart'.

blkg should stay on the queue list until blkg_free_workfn(), otherwise
parent blkg can be freed before child, which will cause some known
issue.

I think this hung happens when total blkg is greater than
BLKG_DESTROY_BATCH_SIZE, right?

Can you try if following patch fix your problem?

Yes, directly removing blkg node is not appropriate, which I noticed some
comments in blkg_destroy(), thanks for pointing out this issue.

Yes, you are right.

This patch can also fix my problem, and indeed is a more secure way.

Thanks for the test, for a better solution, I think 'blkcg_mutex' can
be used to protect 'blkg->q_node' list instead of 'queue_lock', so that
the 'restart' can be removed because softlockup can be avoided.

Thanks,
Kuai

I looked into this, and I found that this is not a easy thing to do.

Anyway, feel free to submit a new patch based on my orignial suggestion.
