    blkcg: use tryget logic when associating a blkg with a bio · 31118850
    Dennis Zhou (Facebook) authored
    There is a very small change a bio gets caught up in a really
    unfortunate race between a task migration, cgroup exiting, and itself
    trying to associate with a blkg. This is due to css offlining being
    performed after the css->refcnt is killed which triggers removal of
    blkgs that reach their blkg->refcnt of 0.
    
    To avoid this, association with a blkg should use tryget and fallback to
    using the root_blkg.
