mainlining shenanigans
52257ffbfc
For each pair [device for which bfq is selected as I/O scheduler, group in blkio/io], bfq maintains a corresponding bfq group. Each such bfq group contains a set of async queues, with each async queue created on demand, i.e., when some I/O request arrives for it. On creation, an async queue gets an extra reference, to make sure that the queue is not freed as long as its bfq group exists. Accordingly, to allow the queue to be freed after the group exited, this extra reference must released on group exit. The above holds also for a bfq root group, i.e., for the bfq group corresponding to the root blkio/io root for a given device. Yet, by mistake, the references to the existing async queues of a root group are not released when the latter exits. This causes a memory leak when the instance of bfq for a given device exits. In a similar vein, bfqg_stats_xfer_dead is not executed for a root group. This commit fixes bfq_pd_offline so that the latter executes the above missing operations for a root group too.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
