Subject: [PATCH 09/12] blkcg: remove additional reference to the css
Date:   Thu,  6 Sep 2018 17:10:42 -0400
Message-Id: <20180906211045.29055-10-dennisszhou@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <20180906211045.29055-1-dennisszhou@gmail.com>

From: "Dennis Zhou (Facebook)" <dennisszhou@gmail.com>

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.

Signed-off-by: Dennis Zhou <dennisszhou@gmail.com>
---
v2: Error handling is now handled by walking up the blkg tree. This
    dramatically simplifies the logic necessary during association.
