Cover letter [PATCH V3 0/4] block: make loop block device cgroup aware

From: Shaohua Li <[email protected]>

Hi,

The IO dispatched to under layer disk by loop block device isn't cloned from original bio, so the IO loses cgroup information of original bio. These IO escapes from cgroup control. The patches try to address this issue. The idea is quite generic, but we currently only make it work for blkcg.

Thanks,
Shaohua
