But blkg_lookup_create() is called under rcu() to protect blkcg pointer.
And blkg_lookup() is also happening under same rcu read lock. So I think
you can't drop rcu from blkg_lookup_create().

Don't we want to be called with rcu lock held needed for blkg_lookup()?

blkg_alloc() might sleep here with rcu lock held?

Thanks
