    blkcg, writeback: dead memcgs shouldn't contribute to writeback ownership arbitration · 66311422

    wbc_account_io() collects information on cgroup ownership of writeback
    pages to determine which cgroup should own the inode.  Pages can stay
    associated with dead memcgs but we want to avoid attributing IOs to
    dead blkcgs as much as possible as the association is likely to be
    stale.  However, currently, pages associated with dead memcgs
    contribute to the accounting delaying and/or confusing the
    arbitration.
    
    Fix it by ignoring pages associated with dead memcgs.
