    Hi Divyesh,

    io_groups are linked in two lists. One list is maintained by io_cgroup
    to keep track of how many io_groups are there associated with this
    cgroup and other list is maintained in elv_fq_data to keep track of
    how many io_groups are actually doing IO to this device.

    Upon elevator exit, we remove the io_groups (io_disconnect_groups())from the
    list maintained by elv_fq_data but we don't free them up. Freeing up is
    finally done when cgroup is being deleted (iocg_destroy()).

    Thanks
    Vivek
