For a system with many CPUs and block devices, the time to do blkcg_rstat_flush() from cgroup_rstat_flush() can be rather long. It can be especially problematic as interrupt is disabled during the flush. It was reported that it might take seconds to complete in some extreme cases leading to hard lockup messages. As it is likely that not all the percpu blkg_iostat_set's has been updated since the last flush, those stale blkg_iostat_set's don't need to be flushed in this case. This patch optimizes blkcg_rstat_flush() by keeping a lockless list of recently updated blkg_iostat_set's in a newly added percpu blkcg->lhead pointer. The blkg_iostat_set is added to a lockless list on the update side in blk_cgroup_bio_start(). It is removed from the lockless list when flushed in blkcg_rstat_flush(). Due to racing, it is possible that blk_iostat_set's in the lockless list may have no new IO stats to be flushed, but that is OK. To protect against destruction of blkg, a percpu reference is gotten when putting into the lockless list and put back when removed. When booting up an instrumented test kernel with this patch on a 2-socket 96-thread system with cgroup v2, out of the 2051 calls to cgroup_rstat_flush() after bootup, 1788 of the calls were exited immediately because of empty lockless list. After an all-cpu kernel build, the ratio became 6295424/6340513. That was more than 99%.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
