blkcg: use radix tree to index blkgs from blkcg
blkg lookup is currently performed by traversing linked list anchored at blkcg->blkg_list. This is very unscalable and with blk-throttle enabled and enough request queues on the system, this can get very ugly quickly (blk-throttle performs look up on every bio submission). This patch makes blkcg use radix tree to index blkgs combined with simple last-looked-up hint. This is mostly identical to how icqs are indexed from ioc. Note that because __blkg_lookup() may be invoked without holding queue lock, hint is only updated from __blkg_lookup_create(). Due to cfq's cfqq caching, this makes hint updates overly lazy. This will be improved with scheduled blkcg aware request allocation. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
