[PATCH 2/9] blkcg, writeback: Add wbc->no_wbc_acct

From: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
Date: 2019-06-15 18:25:13
Also in: linux-btrfs, lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), page cache, the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Matthew Wilcox, Jan Kara, Linus Torvalds

When writeback IOs are bounced through async layers, the IOs should
only be accounted against the wbc from the original bdi writeback to
avoid confusing cgroup inode ownership arbitration.  Add
wbc->no_wbc_acct to allow disabling wbc accounting.  This will be used
make btfs compression work well with cgroup IO control.
