This reverts commit4c6994806f. Destroying blkgs is tricky because of the nature of the relationship. A blkg should go away when either a blkcg or a request_queue goes away. However, blkg's pin the blkcg to ensure they remain valid. To break this cycle, when a blkcg is offlined, blkgs put back their css ref. This eventually lets css_free() get called which frees the blkcg. The above commit (4c6994806f) breaks this order of events by trying to destroy blkgs in css_free(). As the blkgs still hold references to the blkcg, css_free() is never called. The race between blkcg_bio_issue_check() and cgroup_rmdir() will be addressed in the following patch by delaying destruction of a blkg until all writeback associated with the blkcg has been finished.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
