Subject: [PATCH] blkcg: not hold blkcg lock when deactivating policy.
Date:   Tue, 17 Apr 2018 15:10:33 +0800
Message-Id: <1523949033-91148-1-git-send-email-jiang.biao2@zte.com.cn>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

As described in the comment of blkcg_activate_policy(),
*Update of each blkg is protected by both queue and blkcg locks so
that holding either lock and testing blkcg_policy_enabled() is
always enough for dereferencing policy data.*
with queue lock held, there is no need to hold blkcg lock in
blkcg_deactivate_policy(). Similar case is in
blkcg_activate_policy(), which has removed holding of blkcg lock in
commit 4c55f4f9ad3001ac1fefdd8d8ca7641d18558e23.
