Greg KH suggests that normal code should not care about debugfs. Therefore
no matter successful or failed of debugfs_create_dir() execution, it is
unncessary to check its return value.
There are two functions called debugfs_create_dir() and check the return
value, which are bch_debug_init() and closure_debug_init(). This patch
changes these two functions from int to void type, and ignore return values
of debugfs_create_dir().
This patch does not fix exact bug, just makes things work as they should.

The get_seconds function is deprecated now since it returns a 32-bit
value that will eventually overflow, and we are replacing it throughout
the kernel with ktime_get_seconds() or ktime_get_real_seconds() that
return a time64_t.
bcache uses get_seconds() to read the current system time and store it in
the superblock as well as in uuid_entry structures that are user visible.
Unfortunately, the two structures in are still limited to 32 bits, so this
won't fix any real problems but will still overflow in year 2106. Let's
at least document that properly, in case we get an updated format in the
future it can be fixed. We still have a long time before the overflow
and checking the tools at https://github.com/koverstreet/bcache-tools
reveals no access to any of them.

I attached several backend devices in the same cache set, and produced lots
of dirty data by running small rand I/O writes in a long time, then I
continue run I/O in the others cached devices, and stopped a cached device,
after a mean while, I register the stopped device again, I see the running
I/O in the others cached devices dropped significantly, sometimes even
jumps to zero.
In currently code, bcache would traverse each keys and btree node to count
the dirty data under read locker, and the writes threads can not get the
btree write locker, and when there is a lot of keys and btree node in the
registering device, it would last several seconds, so the write I/Os in
others cached device are blocked and declined significantly.
In this patch, when a device registering to a ache set, which exist others
cached devices with running I/Os, we get the amount of dirty data of the
device in an incremental way, and do not block other cached devices all the
time.

This patch base on "[PATCH] bcache: finish incremental GC".
Since incremental GC would stop 100ms when front side I/O comes, so when
there are many btree nodes, if GC only processes constant (100) nodes each
time, GC would last a long time, and the front I/Os would run out of the
buckets (since no new bucket can be allocated during GC), and I/Os be
blocked again.
So GC should not process constant nodes, but varied nodes according to the
number of btree nodes. In this patch, GC is divided into constant (100)
times, so when there are many btree nodes, GC can process more nodes each
time, otherwise GC will process less nodes each time (but no less than
MIN_GC_NODES).

In GC thread, we record the latest GC key in gc_done, which is expected
to be used for incremental GC, but in currently code, we didn't realize
it. When GC runs, front side IO would be blocked until the GC over, it
would be a long time if there is a lot of btree nodes.
This patch realizes incremental GC, the main ideal is that, when there
are front side I/Os, after GC some nodes (100), we stop GC, release locker
of the btree node, and go to process the front side I/Os for some times
(100 ms), then go back to GC again.
By this patch, when we doing GC, I/Os are not blocked all the time, and
there is no obvious I/Os zero jump problem any more.

Add and use a new op_stat_group() function for indexing partition stat
fields rather than indexing them by rq_data_dir() or bio_data_dir().
This function works similarly to op_is_sync() in that it takes the
request::cmd_flags or bio::bi_opf flags and determines which stats
should et updated.
In addition, the second parameter to generic_start_io_acct() and
generic_end_io_acct() is now a REQ_OP rather than simply a read or
write bit and it uses op_stat_group() on the parameter to determine
the stat group.
Note that the partition in_flight counts are not part of the per-cpu
statistics and as such are not indexed via this function. It's now
indexed by op_is_write().

Currently bcache does not handle backing device failure, if backing
device is offline and disconnected from system, its bcache device can still
be accessible. If the bcache device is in writeback mode, I/O requests even
can success if the requests hit on cache device. That is to say, when and
how bcache handles offline backing device is undefined.
This patch tries to handle backing device offline in a rather simple way,
- Add cached_dev->status_update_thread kernel thread to update backing
device status in every 1 second.
- Add cached_dev->offline_seconds to record how many seconds the backing
device is observed to be offline. If the backing device is offline for
BACKING_DEV_OFFLINE_TIMEOUT (30) seconds, set dc->io_disable to 1 and
call bcache_device_stop() to stop the bache device which linked to the
offline backing device.
Now if a backing device is offline for BACKING_DEV_OFFLINE_TIMEOUT seconds,
its bcache device will be removed, then user space application writing on
it will get error immediately, and handler the device failure in time.
This patch is quite simple, does not handle more complicated situations.
Once the bcache device is stopped, users need to recovery the backing
device, register and attach it manually.
Changelog:
v3: call wait_for_kthread_stop() before exits kernel thread.
v2: remove "bcache: " prefix when calling pr_warn().
v1: initial version.

It is possible that multiple I/O requests hits on failed cache device or
backing device, therefore it is quite common that CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE is
set already when a task tries to set the bit from bch_cache_set_error().
Currently the message "CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE already set" is printed by
pr_warn(), which might mislead users to think a serious fault happens in
source code.
This patch uses pr_info() to print the information in such situation,
avoid extra worries. This information is helpful to understand bcache
behavior in cache device failures, so I still keep them in source code.

Commit 7e027ca4b5 ("bcache: add stop_when_cache_set_failed option to

device if stop_when_cache_set_failed is auto and there is dirty data on
broken cache device. There might exists a small time gap that the cache
set is released and set to NULL but bcache device is not released yet
(because they are released in parallel). During this time gap, dc->c is
NULL so CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE won't be checked, and dc->io_disable is still
false, so new coming I/O requests will be accepted and directly go into
backing device as no cache set attached to. If there is dirty data on
cache device, this behavior may introduce potential inconsistent data.
This patch sets dc->io_disable to true before calling bcache_device_stop()
to make sure the backing device will reject new coming I/O request as
well, so even in the small time gap no I/O will directly go into backing
device to corrupt data consistency.

Commit c7b7bd0740 ("bcache: add io_disable to struct cached_dev") tries
to stop bcache device by calling bcache_device_stop() when too many I/O
errors happened on backing device. But if there is internal I/O happening
on cache device (writeback scan, garbage collection, etc), a regular I/O
request triggers the internal I/Os may still holds a refcount of dc->count,
and the refcount may only be dropped after the internal I/O stopped.
By this patch, bch_cached_dev_error() will check if the backing device is
attached to a cache set, if yes that CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE will be set to
flags of this cache set. Then internal I/Os on cache device will be
rejected and stopped immediately, and the bcache device can be stopped.
For people who are not familiar with the interesting refcount dependance,
let me explain a bit more how the fix works. Example the writeback thread
will scan cache device for dirty data writeback purpose. Before it stopps,
it holds a refcount of dc->count. When CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE bit is set,
the internal I/O will stopped and the while-loop in bch_writeback_thread()
quits and calls cached_dev_put() to drop dc->count. If this is the last
refcount to drop, then cached_dev_detach_finish() will be called. In this
call back function, in turn closure_put(dc->disk.cl) is called to drop a
refcount of closure dc->disk.cl. If this is the last refcount of this
closure to drop, then cached_dev_flush() will be called. Then the cached
device is freed. So if CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE is not set, the bache device
can not be stopped until all inernal cache device I/O stopped. For large
size cache device, and writeback thread competes locks with gc thread,
there might be a quite long time to wait.

Current code uses bdevname() or bio_devname() to reference gendisk
disk name when bcache needs to display the disk names in kernel message.
It was safe before bcache device failure handling patch set merged in,
because when devices are failed, there was deadlock to prevent bcache
printing error messages with gendisk disk name. But after the failure
handling patch set merged, the deadlock is fixed, so it is possible
that the gendisk structure bdev->hd_disk is released when bdevname() is
called to reference bdev->bd_disk->disk_name[]. This is why I receive
bug report of NULL pointers deference panic.
This patch stores gendisk disk name in a buffer inside struct cache and
struct cached_dev, then print out the offline device name won't reference
bdev->hd_disk anymore. And this patch also avoids extra function calls

If a bcache device is configured to writeback mode, current code does not
handle write I/O errors on backing devices properly.
In writeback mode, write request is written to cache device, and
latter being flushed to backing device. If I/O failed when writing from
cache device to the backing device, bcache code just ignores the error and
upper layer code is NOT noticed that the backing device is broken.
This patch tries to handle backing device failure like how the cache device
failure is handled,
- Add a error counter 'io_errors' and error limit 'error_limit' in struct
cached_dev. Add another io_disable to struct cached_dev to disable I/Os
on the problematic backing device.
- When I/O error happens on backing device, increase io_errors counter. And
if io_errors reaches error_limit, set cache_dev->io_disable to true, and
stop the bcache device.
The result is, if backing device is broken of disconnected, and I/O errors
reach its error limit, backing device will be disabled and the associated
bcache device will be removed from system.

In order to catch I/O error of backing device, a separate bi_end_io
call back is required. Then a per backing device counter can record I/O
errors number and retire the backing device if the counter reaches a
per backing device I/O error limit.
This patch adds backing_request_endio() to bcache backing device I/O code
path, this is a preparation for further complicated backing device failure
handling. So far there is no real code logic change, I make this change a
separate patch to make sure it is stable and reliable for further work.

When there are too many I/O errors on cache device, current bcache code
will retire the whole cache set, and detach all bcache devices. But the
detached bcache devices are not stopped, which is problematic when bcache
is in writeback mode.
If the retired cache set has dirty data of backing devices, continue
writing to bcache device will write to backing device directly. If the
LBA of write request has a dirty version cached on cache device, next time
when the cache device is re-registered and backing device re-attached to
it again, the stale dirty data on cache device will be written to backing
device, and overwrite latest directly written data. This situation causes
a quite data corruption.
But we cannot simply stop all attached bcache devices when the cache set is
broken or disconnected. For example, use bcache to accelerate performance
of an email service. In such workload, if cache device is broken but no
dirty data lost, keep the bcache device alive and permit email service
continue to access user data might be a better solution for the cache
device failure.
Nix <nix@esperi.org.uk> points out the issue and provides the above example
to explain why it might be necessary to not stop bcache device for broken
cache device. Pavel Goran <via-bcache@pvgoran.name> provides a brilliant
suggestion to provide "always" and "auto" options to per-cached device
sysfs file stop_when_cache_set_failed. If cache set is retiring and the
backing device has no dirty data on cache, it should be safe to keep the
bcache device alive. In this case, if stop_when_cache_set_failed is set to
"auto", the device failure handling code will not stop this bcache device
and permit application to access the backing device with a unattached
bcache device.

When too many I/Os failed on cache device, bch_cache_set_error() is called
in the error handling code path to retire whole problematic cache set. If
new I/O requests continue to come and take refcount dc->count, the cache
set won't be retired immediately, this is a problem.
Further more, there are several kernel thread and self-armed kernel work
may still running after bch_cache_set_error() is called. It needs to wait
quite a while for them to stop, or they won't stop at all. They also
prevent the cache set from being retired.
The solution in this patch is, to add per cache set flag to disable I/O
request on this cache and all attached backing devices. Then new coming I/O
requests can be rejected in *_make_request() before taking refcount, kernel
threads and self-armed kernel worker can stop very fast when flags bit
CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE is set.
Because bcache also do internal I/Os for writeback, garbage collection,
bucket allocation, journaling, this kind of I/O should be disabled after
bch_cache_set_error() is called. So closure_bio_submit() is modified to
check whether CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE is set on cache_set->flags. If set,
closure_bio_submit() will set bio->bi_status to BLK_STS_IOERR and
return, generic_make_request() won't be called.
A sysfs interface is also added to set or clear CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE bit
from cache_set->flags, to disable or enable cache set I/O for debugging. It
is helpful to trigger more corner case issues for failed cache device.

struct delayed_work writeback_rate_update in struct cache_dev is a delayed
worker to call function update_writeback_rate() in period (the interval is
defined by dc->writeback_rate_update_seconds).
When a metadate I/O error happens on cache device, bcache error handling
routine bch_cache_set_error() will call bch_cache_set_unregister() to
retire whole cache set. On the unregister code path, this delayed work is
stopped by calling cancel_delayed_work_sync(&dc->writeback_rate_update).
dc->writeback_rate_update is a special delayed work from others in bcache.
In its routine update_writeback_rate(), this delayed work is re-armed
itself. That means when cancel_delayed_work_sync() returns, this delayed
work can still be executed after several seconds defined by
dc->writeback_rate_update_seconds.
The problem is, after cancel_delayed_work_sync() returns, the cache set
unregister code path will continue and release memory of struct cache set.
Then the delayed work is scheduled to run, __update_writeback_rate()
will reference the already released cache_set memory, and trigger a NULL
pointer deference fault.
This patch introduces two more bcache device flags,
- BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING
bit set: bcache device is in writeback mode and running, it is OK for
dc->writeback_rate_update to re-arm itself.
bit clear:bcache device is trying to stop dc->writeback_rate_update,
this delayed work should not re-arm itself and quit.
- BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING
bit set: routine update_writeback_rate() is executing.
bit clear: routine update_writeback_rate() quits.
This patch also adds a function cancel_writeback_rate_update_dwork() to
wait for dc->writeback_rate_update quits before cancel it by calling
cancel_delayed_work_sync(). In order to avoid a deadlock by unexpected
quit dc->writeback_rate_update, after time_out seconds this function will
give up and continue to call cancel_delayed_work_sync().
And here I explain how this patch stops self re-armed delayed work properly
with the above stuffs.
update_writeback_rate() sets BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING at its beginning
and clears BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING at its end. Before calling
cancel_writeback_rate_update_dwork() clear flag BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING.
Before calling cancel_delayed_work_sync() wait utill flag
BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING is clear. So when calling
cancel_delayed_work_sync(), dc->writeback_rate_update must be already re-
armed, or quite by seeing BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING cleared. In both cases
delayed work routine update_writeback_rate() won't be executed after
cancel_delayed_work_sync() returns.
Inside update_writeback_rate() before calling schedule_delayed_work(), flag
BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING is checked before. If this flag is cleared, it means
someone is about to stop the delayed work. Because flag
BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING is set already and cancel_delayed_work_sync()
has to wait for this flag to be cleared, we don't need to worry about race
condition here.
If update_writeback_rate() is scheduled to run after checking
BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING and before calling cancel_delayed_work_sync()
in cancel_writeback_rate_update_dwork(), it is also safe. Because at this
moment BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING is cleared with memory barrier. As I mentioned
previously, update_writeback_rate() will see BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING is clear
and quit immediately.
Because there are more dependences inside update_writeback_rate() to struct
cache_set memory, dc->writeback_rate_update is not a simple self re-arm
delayed work. After trying many different methods (e.g. hold dc->count, or
use locks), this is the only way I can find which works to properly stop
dc->writeback_rate_update delayed work.
Changelog:
v3: change values of BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING and BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING
to bit index, for test_bit().
v2: Try to fix the race issue which is pointed out by Junhui.

In patch "bcache: fix cached_dev->count usage for bch_cache_set_error()",
cached_dev_get() is called when creating dc->writeback_thread, and
cached_dev_put() is called when exiting dc->writeback_thread. This
modification works well unless people detach the bcache device manually by
'echo 1 > /sys/block/bcache<N>/bcache/detach'
Because this sysfs interface only calls bch_cached_dev_detach() which wakes
up dc->writeback_thread but does not stop it. The reason is, before patch
"bcache: fix cached_dev->count usage for bch_cache_set_error()", inside
bch_writeback_thread(), if cache is not dirty after writeback,
cached_dev_put() will be called here. And in cached_dev_make_request() when
a new write request makes cache from clean to dirty, cached_dev_get() will
be called there. Since we don't operate dc->count in these locations,
refcount d->count cannot be dropped after cache becomes clean, and
cached_dev_detach_finish() won't be called to detach bcache device.
This patch fixes the issue by checking whether BCACHE_DEV_DETACHING is
set inside bch_writeback_thread(). If this bit is set and cache is clean
(no existing writeback_keys), break the while-loop, call cached_dev_put()
and quit the writeback thread.
Please note if cache is still dirty, even BCACHE_DEV_DETACHING is set the
writeback thread should continue to perform writeback, this is the original
design of manually detach.
It is safe to do the following check without locking, let me explain why,
+ if (!test_bit(BCACHE_DEV_DETACHING, &dc->disk.flags) &&
+ (!atomic_read(&dc->has_dirty) || !dc->writeback_running)) {
If the kenrel thread does not sleep and continue to run due to conditions
are not updated in time on the running CPU core, it just consumes more CPU
cycles and has no hurt. This should-sleep-but-run is safe here. We just
focus on the should-run-but-sleep condition, which means the writeback
thread goes to sleep in mistake while it should continue to run.
1, First of all, no matter the writeback thread is hung or not,
kthread_stop() from cached_dev_detach_finish() will wake up it and
terminate by making kthread_should_stop() return true. And in normal
run time, bit on index BCACHE_DEV_DETACHING is always cleared, the
condition
!test_bit(BCACHE_DEV_DETACHING, &dc->disk.flags)
is always true and can be ignored as constant value.
2, If one of the following conditions is true, the writeback thread should
go to sleep,
"!atomic_read(&dc->has_dirty)" or "!dc->writeback_running)"
each of them independently controls the writeback thread should sleep or
not, let's analyse them one by one.
2.1 condition "!atomic_read(&dc->has_dirty)"
If dc->has_dirty is set from 0 to 1 on another CPU core, bcache will
call bch_writeback_queue() immediately or call bch_writeback_add() which
indirectly calls bch_writeback_queue() too. In bch_writeback_queue(),
wake_up_process(dc->writeback_thread) is called. It sets writeback
thread's task state to TASK_RUNNING and following an implicit memory
barrier, then tries to wake up the writeback thread.
In writeback thread, its task state is set to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE before
doing the condition check. If other CPU core sets the TASK_RUNNING state
after writeback thread setting TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, the writeback thread
will be scheduled to run very soon because its state is not
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. If other CPU core sets the TASK_RUNNING state before
writeback thread setting TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, the implict memory barrier
of wake_up_process() will make sure modification of dc->has_dirty on
other CPU core is updated and observed on the CPU core of writeback
thread. Therefore the condition check will correctly be false, and
continue writeback code without sleeping.
2.2 condition "!dc->writeback_running)"
dc->writeback_running can be changed via sysfs file, every time it is
modified, a following bch_writeback_queue() is alwasy called. So the
change is always observed on the CPU core of writeback thread. If
dc->writeback_running is changed from 0 to 1 on other CPU core, this
condition check will observe the modification and allow writeback
thread to continue to run without sleeping.
Now we can see, even without a locking protection, multiple conditions
check is safe here, no deadlock or process hang up will happen.
I compose a separte patch because that patch "bcache: fix cached_dev->count
usage for bch_cache_set_error()" already gets a "Reviewed-by:" from Hannes
Reinecke. Also this fix is not trivial and good for a separate patch.

When bcache metadata I/O fails, bcache will call bch_cache_set_error()
to retire the whole cache set. The expected behavior to retire a cache
set is to unregister the cache set, and unregister all backing device
attached to this cache set, then remove sysfs entries of the cache set
and all attached backing devices, finally release memory of structs
cache_set, cache, cached_dev and bcache_device.
In my testing when journal I/O failure triggered by disconnected cache
device, sometimes the cache set cannot be retired, and its sysfs
entry /sys/fs/bcache/<uuid> still exits and the backing device also
references it. This is not expected behavior.
When metadata I/O failes, the call senquence to retire whole cache set is,
bch_cache_set_error()
bch_cache_set_unregister()
bch_cache_set_stop()
__cache_set_unregister() <- called as callback by calling
clousre_queue(&c->caching)
cache_set_flush() <- called as a callback when refcount
of cache_set->caching is 0
cache_set_free() <- called as a callback when refcount
of catch_set->cl is 0
bch_cache_set_release() <- called as a callback when refcount
of catch_set->kobj is 0
I find if kernel thread bch_writeback_thread() quits while-loop when
kthread_should_stop() is true and searched_full_index is false, clousre
callback cache_set_flush() set by continue_at() will never be called. The
result is, bcache fails to retire whole cache set.
cache_set_flush() will be called when refcount of closure c->caching is 0,
and in function bcache_device_detach() refcount of closure c->caching is
released to 0 by clousre_put(). In metadata error code path, function
bcache_device_detach() is called by cached_dev_detach_finish(). This is a
callback routine being called when cached_dev->count is 0. This refcount
is decreased by cached_dev_put().
The above dependence indicates, cache_set_flush() will be called when
refcount of cache_set->cl is 0, and refcount of cache_set->cl to be 0
when refcount of cache_dev->count is 0.
The reason why sometimes cache_dev->count is not 0 (when metadata I/O fails
and bch_cache_set_error() called) is, in bch_writeback_thread(), refcount
of cache_dev is not decreased properly.
In bch_writeback_thread(), cached_dev_put() is called only when
searched_full_index is true and cached_dev->writeback_keys is empty, a.k.a
there is no dirty data on cache. In most of run time it is correct, but
when bch_writeback_thread() quits the while-loop while cache is still
dirty, current code forget to call cached_dev_put() before this kernel
thread exits. This is why sometimes cache_set_flush() is not executed and
cache set fails to be retired.
The reason to call cached_dev_put() in bch_writeback_rate() is, when the
cache device changes from clean to dirty, cached_dev_get() is called, to
make sure during writeback operatiions both backing and cache devices
won't be released.
Adding following code in bch_writeback_thread() does not work,
static int bch_writeback_thread(void *arg)
}
+ if (atomic_read(&dc->has_dirty))
+ cached_dev_put()
+
return 0;
}
because writeback kernel thread can be waken up and start via sysfs entry:
echo 1 > /sys/block/bcache<N>/bcache/writeback_running
It is difficult to check whether backing device is dirty without race and
extra lock. So the above modification will introduce potential refcount
underflow in some conditions.
The correct fix is, to take cached dev refcount when creating the kernel
thread, and put it before the kernel thread exits. Then bcache does not
need to take a cached dev refcount when cache turns from clean to dirty,
or to put a cached dev refcount when cache turns from ditry to clean. The
writeback kernel thread is alwasy safe to reference data structure from
cache set, cache and cached device (because a refcount of cache device is
taken for it already), and no matter the kernel thread is stopped by I/O
errors or system reboot, cached_dev->count can always be used correctly.
The patch is simple, but understanding how it works is quite complicated.

This can happen e.g. during disk cloning.
This is an incomplete fix: it does not catch duplicate UUIDs earlier
when things are still unattached. It does not unregister the device.
Further changes to cope better with this are planned but conflict with
Coly's ongoing improvements to handling device errors. In the meantime,
one can manually stop the device after this has happened.

Commit 2831231d4c ("bcache: reduce cache_set devices iteration by
devices_max_used") adds c->devices_max_used to reduce iteration of
c->uuids elements, this value is updated in bcache_device_attach().
But for flash only volume, when calling flash_devs_run(), the function
bcache_device_attach() is not called yet and c->devices_max_used is not
updated. The unexpected result is, the flash only volume won't be run
by flash_devs_run().
This patch fixes the issue by iterate all c->uuids elements in
flash_devs_run(). c->devices_max_used will be updated properly when
bcache_device_attach() gets called.

back-end device sdm has already attached a cache_set with ID
f67ebe1f-f8bc-4d73-bfe5-9dc88607f119, then try to attach with
another cache set, and it returns with an error:
[root]# cd /sys/block/sdm/bcache
[root]# echo 5ccd0a63-148e-48b8-afa2-aca9cbd6279f > attach
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
After that, execute a command to modify the label of bcache
device:
[root]# echo data_disk1 > label
Then we reboot the system, when the system power on, the back-end
device can not attach to cache_set, a messages show in the log:
Feb 5 12:05:52 ceph152 kernel: [922385.508498] bcache:
bch_cached_dev_attach() couldn't find uuid for sdm in set
In sysfs_attach(), dc->sb.set_uuid was assigned to the value
which input through sysfs, no matter whether it is success
or not in bch_cached_dev_attach(). For example, If the back-end
device has already attached to an cache set, bch_cached_dev_attach()
would fail, but dc->sb.set_uuid was changed. Then modify the
label of bcache device, it will call bch_write_bdev_super(),
which would write the dc->sb.set_uuid to the super block, so we
record a wrong cache set ID in the super block, after the system
reboot, the cache set couldn't find the uuid of the back-end
device, so the bcache device couldn't exist and use any more.
In this patch, we don't assigned cache set ID to dc->sb.set_uuid
in sysfs_attach() directly, but input it into bch_cached_dev_attach(),
and assigned dc->sb.set_uuid to the cache set ID after the back-end
device attached to the cache set successful.

I attach a back-end device to a cache set, and the cache set is not
registered yet, this back-end device did not attach successfully, and no
error returned:
[root]# echo 87859280-fec6-4bcc-20df7ca8f86b > /sys/block/sde/bcache/attach

In sysfs_attach(), the return value "v" is initialized to "size" in
the beginning, and if no cache set exist in bch_cache_sets, the "v" value
would not change any more, and return to sysfs, sysfs regard it as success
since the "size" is a positive number.
This patch fixes this issue by assigning "v" with "-ENOENT" in the

dc->writeback_rate_update_seconds can be set via sysfs and its value can
be set to [1, ULONG_MAX]. It does not make sense to set such a large
value, 60 seconds is long enough value considering the default 5 seconds
works well for long time.
Because dc->writeback_rate_update is a special delayed work, it re-arms
itself inside the delayed work routine update_writeback_rate(). When
stopping it by cancel_delayed_work_sync(), there should be a timeout to
wait and make sure the re-armed delayed work is stopped too. A small max
value of dc->writeback_rate_update_seconds is also helpful to decide a
reasonable small timeout.
This patch limits sysfs interface to set dc->writeback_rate_update_seconds
in range of [1, 60] seconds, and replaces the hand-coded number by macros.

The stack shows the register thread and allocator thread
were getting stuck when registering cache device.
I reboot the machine several times, the issue always
exsit in this machine.
I debug the code, and found the call trace as bellow:
register_bcache()
==>run_cache_set()
==>bch_journal_replay()
==>bch_btree_insert()
==>__bch_btree_map_nodes()
==>btree_insert_fn()
==>btree_split() //node need split
==>btree_check_reserve()
In btree_check_reserve(), It will check if there is enough buckets
of RESERVE_BTREE type, since allocator thread did not work yet, so
no buckets of RESERVE_BTREE type allocated, so the register thread
waits on c->btree_cache_wait, and goes to sleep.
Then the allocator thread initialized, the call trace is bellow:
bch_allocator_thread()
==>bch_prio_write()
==>bch_journal_meta()
==>bch_journal()
==>journal_wait_for_write()
In journal_wait_for_write(), It will check if journal is full by
journal_full(), but the long time random small IO writing
causes the exhaustion of journal buckets(journal.blocks_free=0),
In order to release the journal buckets,
the allocator calls btree_flush_write() to flush keys to
btree nodes, and waits on c->journal.wait until btree nodes writing
over or there has already some journal buckets space, then the
allocator thread goes to sleep. but in btree_flush_write(), since
bch_journal_replay() is not finished, so no btree nodes have journal
(condition "if (btree_current_write(b)->journal)" never satisfied),
so we got no btree node to flush, no journal bucket released,
and allocator sleep all the times.
Through the above analysis, we can see that:
1) Register thread wait for allocator thread to allocate buckets of
RESERVE_BTREE type;
2) Alloctor thread wait for register thread to replay journal, so it
can flush btree nodes and get journal bucket.
then they are all got stuck by waiting for each other.
Hua Rui provided a patch for me, by allocating some buckets of
RESERVE_BTREE type in advance, so the register thread can get bucket
when btree node splitting and no need to waiting for the allocator
thread. I tested it, it has effect, and register thread run a step
forward, but finally are still got stuck, the reason is only 8 bucket
of RESERVE_BTREE type were allocated, and in bch_journal_replay(),
after 2 btree nodes splitting, only 4 bucket of RESERVE_BTREE type left,
then btree_check_reserve() is not satisfied anymore, so it goes to sleep
again, and in the same time, alloctor thread did not flush enough btree
nodes to release a journal bucket, so they all got stuck again.
So we need to allocate more buckets of RESERVE_BTREE type in advance,
but how much is enough? By experience and test, I think it should be
as much as journal buckets. Then I modify the code as this patch,
and test in the machine, and it works.
This patch modified base on Hua Rui’s patch, and allocate more buckets
of RESERVE_BTREE type in advance to avoid register thread and allocate
thread going to wait for each other.
[patch v2] ca->sb.njournal_buckets would be 0 in the first time after
cache creation, and no journal exists, so just 8 btree buckets is OK.

Struct cache uses io_errors for two purposes,
- Error decay: when cache set error_decay is set, io_errors is used to
generate a small piece of delay when I/O error happens.
- I/O errors counter: in order to generate big enough value for error
decay, I/O errors counter value is stored by left shifting 20 bits (a.k.a
IO_ERROR_SHIFT).
In function bch_count_io_errors(), if I/O errors counter reaches cache set
error limit, bch_cache_set_error() will be called to retire the whold cache
set. But current code is problematic when checking the error limit, see the
following code piece from bch_count_io_errors(),
90 if (error) {
91 char buf[BDEVNAME_SIZE];
92 unsigned errors = atomic_add_return(1 << IO_ERROR_SHIFT,
93 &ca->io_errors);
94 errors >>= IO_ERROR_SHIFT;
95
96 if (errors < ca->set->error_limit)
97 pr_err("%s: IO error on %s, recovering",
98 bdevname(ca->bdev, buf), m);
99 else
100 bch_cache_set_error(ca->set,
101 "%s: too many IO errors %s",
102 bdevname(ca->bdev, buf), m);
103 }
At line 94, errors is right shifting IO_ERROR_SHIFT bits, now it is real
errors counter to compare at line 96. But ca->set->error_limit is initia-
lized with an amplified value in bch_cache_set_alloc(),
1545 c->error_limit = 8 << IO_ERROR_SHIFT;
It means by default, in bch_count_io_errors(), before 8<<20 errors happened
bch_cache_set_error() won't be called to retire the problematic cache
device. If the average request size is 64KB, it means bcache won't handle
failed device until 512GB data is requested. This is too large to be an I/O
threashold. So I believe the correct error limit should be much less.
This patch sets default cache set error limit to 8, then in
bch_count_io_errors() when errors counter reaches 8 (if it is default
value), function bch_cache_set_error() will be called to retire the whole
cache set. This patch also removes bits shifting when store or show
io_error_limit value via sysfs interface.
Nowadays most of SSDs handle internal flash failure automatically by LBA
address re-indirect mapping. If an I/O error can be observed by upper layer
code, it will be a notable error because that SSD can not re-indirect
map the problematic LBA address to an available flash block. This situation
indicates the whole SSD will be failed very soon. Therefore setting 8 as
the default io error limit value makes sense, it is enough for most of
cache devices.

Kernel thread routine bch_writeback_thread() has the following code block,
447 down_write(&dc->writeback_lock);
448~450 if (check conditions) {
451 up_write(&dc->writeback_lock);
452 set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
453
454 if (kthread_should_stop())
455 return 0;
456
457 schedule();
458 continue;
459 }
If condition check is true, its task state is set to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE
and call schedule() to wait for others to wake up it.
There are 2 issues in current code,
1, Task state is set to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE after the condition checks, if
another process changes the condition and call wake_up_process(dc->
writeback_thread), then at line 452 task state is set back to
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, the writeback kernel thread will lose a chance to be
waken up.
2, At line 454 if kthread_should_stop() is true, writeback kernel thread
will return to kernel/kthread.c:kthread() with TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and
call do_exit(). It is not good to enter do_exit() with task state
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, in following code path might_sleep() is called and a
warning message is reported by __might_sleep(): "WARNING: do not call
blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING; state=1 set at [xxxx]".
For the first issue, task state should be set before condition checks.
Ineed because dc->writeback_lock is required when modifying all the
conditions, calling set_current_state() inside code block where dc->
writeback_lock is hold is safe. But this is quite implicit, so I still move
set_current_state() before all the condition checks.
For the second issue, frankley speaking it does not hurt when kernel thread
exits with TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state, but this warning message scares users,
makes them feel there might be something risky with bcache and hurt their
data. Setting task state to TASK_RUNNING before returning fixes this
problem.
In alloc.c:allocator_wait(), there is also a similar issue, and is also
fixed in this patch.

v3: merge two similar fixes into one patch
v2: fix the race issue in v1 patch.

The kernel work consumed a lot of CPU, and I found they are running journal
work, The journal is reclaiming source and flush btree node with surprising
frequency.
Through further analysis, we found that in btree_flush_write(), we try to
get a btree node with the smallest fifo idex to flush by traverse all the
btree nodein c->bucket_hash, after we getting it, since no locker protects
it, this btree node may have been written to cache device by other works,
and if this occurred, we retry to traverse in c->bucket_hash and get
another btree node. When the problem occurrd, the retry times is very high,
and we consume a lot of CPU in looking for a appropriate btree node.
In this patch, we try to record 128 btree nodes with the smallest fifo idex
in heap, and pop one by one when we need to flush btree node. It greatly
reduces the time for the loop to find the appropriate BTREE node, and also
reduce the occupancy of CPU.

3) retry_flush_write: how many times the journal retry to flush

Bcache needs to scale the dirty data in the cache over the multiple
backing disks in order to calculate writeback rates for each.
The previous code did this by multiplying the target number of dirty
sectors by the backing device size, and expected it to fit into a
uint64_t; this blows up on relatively small backing devices.
The new approach figures out the bdev's share in 16384ths of the overall
cached data. This is chosen to cope well when bdevs drastically vary in
size and to ensure that bcache can cross the petabyte boundary for each
backing device.
This has been improved based on Tang Junhui's feedback to ensure that
every device gets a share of dirty data, no matter how small it is
compared to the total backing pool.
The existing mechanism is very limited; this is purely a bug fix to
remove limits on volume size. However, there still needs to be change
to make this "fair" over many volumes where some are idle.

Bcache only does recoverable I/O for read operations by calling
cached_dev_read_error(). For write opertions there is no I/O recovery for
failed requests.
But in bch_count_io_errors() no matter read or write I/Os, before errors
counter reaches io error limit, pr_err() always prints "IO error on %,
recoverying". For write requests this information is misleading, because
there is no I/O recovery at all.
This patch adds a parameter 'is_read' to bch_count_io_errors(), and only
prints "recovering" by pr_err() when the bio direction is READ.

Member devices of struct cache_set is used to reference all attached
bcache devices to this cache set. If it is treated as array of pointers,
size of devices[] is indicated by member nr_uuids of struct cache_set.
nr_uuids is calculated in drivers/md/super.c:bch_cache_set_alloc(),
bucket_bytes(c) / sizeof(struct uuid_entry)
Bucket size is determined by user space tool "make-bcache", by default it
is 1024 sectors (defined in bcache-tools/make-bcache.c:main()). So default
nr_uuids value is 4096 from the above calculation.
Every time when bcache code iterates bcache devices of a cache set, all
the 4096 pointers are checked even only 1 bcache device is attached to the
cache set, that's a wast of time and unncessary.
This patch adds a member devices_max_used to struct cache_set. Its value
is 1 + the maximum used index of devices[] in a cache set. When iterating
all valid bcache devices of a cache set, use c->devices_max_used in
for-loop may reduce a lot of useless checking.
Personally, my motivation of this patch is not for performance, I use it
in bcache debugging, which helps me to narrow down the scape to check
valid bcached devices of a cache set.

Since the `bi_disk` is not the bcache device, the generic_end_io_acct() is
called with a wrong device queue.
It causes the "inflight" (in struct hd_struct) counter keep increasing
without decreasing.
This patch fix the problem by calling generic_end_io_acct() with

where we have at most one contiguous set of writebacks in flight at a

Writeback keys are presently iterated and dispatched for writeback in
order of the logical block address on the backing device. Multiple may
be, in parallel, read from the cache device and then written back
(especially when there are contiguous I/O).
However-- there was no guarantee with the existing code that the writes
would be issued in LBA order, as the reads from the cache device are
often re-ordered. In turn, when writing back quickly, the backing disk
often has to seek backwards-- this slows writeback and increases
utilization.
This patch introduces an ordering mechanism that guarantees that the
original order of issue is maintained for the write portion of the I/O.
Performance for writeback is significantly improved when there are
multiple contiguous keys or high writeback rates.

In such scenario that there are some flash only volumes
, and some cached devices, when many tasks request these devices in
writeback mode, the write IOs may fall to the same bucket as bellow:
| cached data | flash data | cached data | cached data| flash data|
then after writeback of these cached devices, the bucket would
be like bellow bucket:
| free | flash data | free | free | flash data |
So, there are many free space in this bucket, but since data of flash
only volumes still exists, so this bucket cannot be reclaimable,
which would cause waste of bucket space.
In this patch, we segregate flash only volume write streams from
cached devices, so data from flash only volumes and cached devices
can store in different buckets.
Compare to v1 patch, this patch do not add a additionally open bucket
list, and it is try best to segregate flash only volume write streams
from cached devices, sectors of flash only volumes may still be mixed
with dirty sectors of cached device, but the number is very small.

Currently, when a cached device detaching from cache, writeback thread is
not stopped, and writeback_rate_update work is not canceled. For example,
after the following command:
echo 1 >/sys/block/sdb/bcache/detach
you can still see the writeback thread. Then you attach the device to the
cache again, bcache will create another writeback thread, for example,
after below command:
echo ba0fb5cd-658a-4533-9806-6ce166d883b9 > /sys/block/sdb/bcache/attach
then you will see 2 writeback threads.
This patch stops writeback thread and cancels writeback_rate_update work
when cached device detaching from cache.
Compare with patch v1, this v2 patch moves code down into the register
lock for safety in case of any future changes as Coly and Mike suggested.

The read request might meet error when searching the btree, but the error
was not handled in cache_lookup(), and this kind of metadata failure will
not go into cached_dev_read_error(), finally, the upper layer will receive
bi_status=0. In this patch we judge the metadata error by the return
value of bch_btree_map_keys(), there are two potential paths give rise to
the error:
1. Because the btree is not totally cached in memery, we maybe get error
when read btree node from cache device (see bch_btree_node_get()), the
likely errno is -EIO, -ENOMEM
2. When read miss happens, bch_btree_insert_check_key() will be called to
insert a "replace_key" to btree(see cached_dev_cache_miss(), just for
doing preparatory work before insert the missed data to cache device),
a failure can also happen in this situation, the likely errno is
-ENOMEM
bch_btree_map_keys() will return MAP_DONE in normal scenario, but we will
get either -EIO or -ENOMEM in above two cases. if this happened, we should
NOT recover data from backing device (when cache device is dirty) because
we don't know whether bkeys the read request covered are all clean. And
after that happened, s->iop.status is still its initially value(0) before
we submit s->bio.bio, we set it to BLK_STS_IOERR, so it can go into
cached_dev_read_error(), and finally it can be passed to upper layer, or
recovered by reread from backing device.

When we send a read request and hit the clean data in cache device, there
is a situation called cache read race in bcache(see the commit in the tail
of cache_look_up(), the following explaination just copy from there):
The bucket we're reading from might be reused while our bio is in flight,
and we could then end up reading the wrong data. We guard against this
by checking (in bch_cache_read_endio()) if the pointer is stale again;
if so, we treat it as an error (s->iop.error = -EINTR) and reread from
the backing device (but we don't pass that error up anywhere)
It should be noted that cache read race happened under normal
circumstances, not the circumstance when SSD failed, it was counted
and shown in /sys/fs/bcache/XXX/internal/cache_read_races.
Without this patch, when we use writeback mode, we will never reread from
the backing device when cache read race happened, until the whole cache
device is clean, because the condition
(s->recoverable && (dc && !atomic_read(&dc->has_dirty))) is false in
cached_dev_read_error(). In this situation, the s->iop.error(= -EINTR)
will be passed up, at last, user will receive -EINTR when it's bio end,
this is not suitable, and wield to up-application.
In this patch, we use s->read_dirty_data to judge whether the read
request hit dirty data in cache device, it is safe to reread data from
the backing device when the read request hit clean data. This can not
only handle cache read race, but also recover data when failed read
request from cache device.

Journal bucket is a circular buffer, the bucket
can be like YYYNNNYY, which means the first valid journal in
the 7th bucket, and the latest valid journal in third bucket, in
this case, if we do not try we the zero index first, We
may get a valid journal in the 7th bucket, then we call
find_next_bit(bitmap,ca->sb.njournal_buckets, l + 1) to get the
first invalid bucket after the 7th bucket, because all these
buckets is valid, so no bit 1 in bitmap, thus find_next_bit()
function would return with ca->sb.njournal_buckets (8). So, after
that, bcache only read journal in 7th and 8the bucket,
the first to the third buckets are lost.
So, it is important to let developer know that, we need to try
the zero index at first in the hash-search, and avoid any breaks
in future's code modification.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference
counters with the following properties:
- counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set()
- a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero
- once counter reaches zero, its further
increments aren't allowed
- counter schema uses basic atomic operations
(set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.)
Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided
refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows
and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows
can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable.
The variable cached_dev.count is used as pure reference counter.
Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations.

When bcache does read I/Os, for example in writeback or writethrough mode,
if a read request on cache device is failed, bcache will try to recovery
the request by reading from cached device. If the data on cached device is
not synced with cache device, then requester will get a stale data.
For critical storage system like database, providing stale data from
recovery may result an application level data corruption, which is
unacceptible.
With this patch, for a failed read request in writeback or writethrough
mode, recovery a recoverable read request only happens when cache device
is clean. That is to say, all data on cached device is up to update.
For other cache modes in bcache, read request will never hit
cached_dev_read_error(), they don't need this patch.
Please note, because cache mode can be switched arbitrarily in run time, a
writethrough mode might be switched from a writeback mode. Therefore
checking dc->has_data in writethrough mode still makes sense.
Changelog:
V4: Fix parens error pointed by Michael Lyle.
v3: By response from Kent Oversteet, he thinks recovering stale data is a
bug to fix, and option to permit it is unnecessary. So this version
the sysfs file is removed.
v2: rename sysfs entry from allow_stale_data_on_failure to
allow_stale_data_on_failure, and fix the confusing commit log.
v1: initial patch posted.

precision) up to 3 orders of magnitude faster, so use NSEC_PER_SEC.
Additionally, ensure that uint32_t is used as a type for rate throughout
the rate management so that type checking/clamp_t can work properly.
bch_next_delay should be rewritten for increased precision and better
handling of high rates and long sleep periods, but this is adequate for
now.

This works in conjunction with the new PI controller. Currently, in
real-world workloads, the rate controller attempts to write back 1
sector per second. In practice, these minimum-rate writebacks are
between 4k and 60k in test scenarios, since bcache aggregates and
attempts to do contiguous writes and because filesystems on top of
bcachefs typically write 4k or more.
Previously, bcache used to guarantee to write at least once per second.
This means that the actual writeback rate would exceed the configured
amount by a factor of 8-120 or more.
This patch adjusts to be willing to sleep up to 2.5 seconds, and to
target writing 4k/second. On the smallest writes, it will sleep 1
second like before, but many times it will sleep longer and load the
backing device less. This keeps the loading on the cache and backing
device related to writeback more consistent when writing back at low
rates.

bcache uses a control system to attempt to keep the amount of dirty data
in cache at a user-configured level, while not responding excessively to
transients and variations in write rate. Previously, the system was a
PD controller; but the output from it was integrated, turning the
Proportional term into an Integral term, and turning the Derivative term
into a crude Proportional term. Performance of the controller has been
uneven in production, and it has tended to respond slowly, oscillate,
and overshoot.
This patch set replaces the current control system with an explicit PI
controller and tuning that should be correct for most hardware. By
default, it attempts to write at a rate that would retire 1/40th of the
current excess blocks per second. An integral term in turn works to
remove steady state errors.
IMO, this yields benefits in simplicity (removing weighted average
filtering, etc) and system performance.
Another small change is a tunable parameter is introduced to allow the
user to specify a minimum rate at which dirty blocks are retired.
There is a slight difference from earlier versions of the patch in
integral handling to prevent excessive negative integral windup.

Current partition support of bcache is confusing and buggy. It tries to
trace non-continuous device minor numbers by an ida bit string, and
mistakenly mixed bcache device index with minor numbers. This design
generates several negative results,
- Index of bcache device name is not consecutive under /dev/. If there are
3 bcache devices, they name will be,
/dev/bcache0, /dev/bcache16, /dev/bcache32
Only bcache code indexes bcache device name is such an interesting way.
- First minor number of each bcache device is traced by ida bit string.
One bcache device will occupy 16 bits, this is not a good idea. Indeed
only one bit is enough.
- Because minor number and bcache device index are mixed, a device index
is allocated by ida_simple_get(), but an first minor number is sent into
ida_simple_remove() to release the device. It confused original author
too.
Root cause of the above errors is, bcache code should not handle device
minor numbers at all! A standard process to support multiple partitions in
Linux kernel is,
- Device driver provides major device number, and indexes multiple device
instances.
- Device driver does not allocat nor trace device minor number, only
provides a first minor number of a given device instance, and sets how
many minor numbers (paritions) the device instance may have.
All rested stuffs are handled by block layer code, most of the details can
be found from block/{genhd, partition-generic}.c files.
This patch re-writes multiple partitions support for bcache. It makes
whole things to be more clear, and uses ida bit string in a more efficeint
way.
- Ida bit string only traces bcache device index, not minor number. For a
bcache device with 128 partitions, only one bit in ida bit string is
enough.
- Device minor number and device index are separated in concept. Device
index is used for /dev node naming, and ida bit string trace. Minor
number is calculated from device index and only used to initialize
first_minor of a bcache device.
- It does not follow any standard for 16 partitions on a bcache device.
This patch sets 128 partitions on single bcache device at max, this is
the limitation from GPT (GUID Partition Table) and supported by fdisk.
Considering a typical device minor number is 20 bits width, each bcache
device may have 128 partitions (7 bits), there can be 8192 bcache devices
existing on system. For most common deployment for a single server in
now days, it should be enough.

In bcache code, sysfs entries are created before all resources get
allocated, e.g. allocation thread of a cache set.
There is posibility for NULL pointer deference if a resource is accessed
but which is not initialized yet. Indeed Jorg Bornschein catches one on
cache set allocation thread and gets a kernel oops.
The reason for this bug is, when bch_bucket_alloc() is called during
cache set registration and attaching, ca->alloc_thread is not properly
allocated and initialized yet, call wake_up_process() on ca->alloc_thread
triggers NULL pointer deference failure. A simple and fast fix is, before
waking up ca->alloc_thread, checking whether it is allocated, and only
wake up ca->alloc_thread when it is not NULL.

Commit 09b3efec ("bcache: Don't reinvent the wheel but use existing llist
API") replaces the following while loop by llist_for_each_entry(),
-
- while (reverse) {
- cl = container_of(reverse, struct closure, list);
- reverse = llist_next(reverse);
-
+ llist_for_each_entry(cl, reverse, list) {
closure_set_waiting(cl, 0);
closure_sub(cl, CLOSURE_WAITING + 1);
}
This modification introduces a potential race by iterating a corrupted
list. Here is how it happens.
In the above modification, closure_sub() may wake up a process which is
waiting on reverse list. If this process decides to wait again by calling
closure_wait(), its cl->list will be added to another wait list. Then
when llist_for_each_entry() continues to iterate next node, it will travel
on another new wait list which is added in closure_wait(), not the
original reverse list in __closure_wake_up(). It is more probably to
happen on UP machine because the waked up process may preempt the process
which wakes up it.
Use llist_for_each_entry_safe() will fix the issue, the safe version fetch
next node before waking up a process. Then the copy of next node will make
sure list iteration stays on original reverse list.

bcache uses a Proportion-Differentiation Controller algorithm to control
writeback rate to cached devices. In the PD controller algorithm, dirty
stripes of thin flash device should not be counted in, because flash only
volumes never write back dirty data.
Currently dirty stripe counter for thin flash device is not initialized
when the thin flash device starts. Which means the following calculation
in PD controller will reference an undefined dirty stripes number, and
all cached devices attached to the same cache set where the thin flash
device lies on may have an inaccurate writeback rate.
This patch calles bch_sectors_dirty_init() in flash_dev_run(), to
correctly initialize dirty stripe counter when the thin flash device
starts to run. This patch also does following parameter data type change,
-void bch_sectors_dirty_init(struct cached_dev *dc);
+void bch_sectors_dirty_init(struct bcache_device *);
to call this function conveniently in flash_dev_run().

%llu writes 20 characters plus a null.
Always use the units mechanism rather than having different output

Also, correct problems with display output where 1.10 was a larger
number than 1.09, by multiplying by 10 and then dividing by 1024 instead
of dividing by 100. (Remainders of >= 1000 would print as .10).
Minor changes: Always display the decimal point instead of trying to
omit it based on number of digits shown. Decide what units to use
based on 1000 as a threshold, not 1024 (in other words, always print
at most 3 digits before the decimal point).

each cache set, and the each bcache device are always accessed by

are too few, It has led to that each of the same thread write data
to different buckets, which would cause low efficiency write-back,
and also cause buckets inefficient, and would be Very easy to run
out of.
I add debug message in bch_open_buckets_alloc() to print alloc bucket
info, and test with ten bcache devices with a cache set, and each

From the debug message, we can see that, after the modification, One
bucket is more likely to assign to the same thread, and the data from
the same thread are more likely to write the same bucket. Usually the

__update_write_rate() uses a Proportion-Differentiation Controller
algorithm to control writeback rate. A dirty target number is used in
this PD controller to control writeback rate. A larger target number
will make the writeback rate smaller, on the versus, a smaller target
number will make the writeback rate larger.
bcache uses the following steps to calculate the target number,
1) cache_sectors = all-buckets-of-cache-set * buckets-size
2) cache_dirty_target = cache_sectors * cached-device-writeback_percent
3) target = cache_dirty_target *
(sectors-of-cached-device/sectors-of-all-cached-devices-of-this-cache-set)
The calculation at step 1) for cache_sectors is incorrect, which does
not consider dirty blocks occupied by flash only volume.
A flash only volume can be took as a bcache device without cached
device. All data sectors allocated for it are persistent on cache device
and marked dirty, they are not touched by bcache writeback and garbage
collection code. So data blocks of flash only volume should be ignore
when calculating cache_sectors of cache set.
Current code does not subtract dirty sectors of flash only volume, which
results a larger target number from the above 3 steps. And in sequence
the cache device's writeback rate is smaller then a correct value,
writeback speed is slower on all cached devices.
This patch fixes the incorrect slower writeback rate by subtracting
dirty sectors of flash only volumes in __update_writeback_rate().

For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device. But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is

biosets used by filesystems or other top-level users do not

There are many code paths opencoding kvmalloc. Let's use the helper
instead. The main difference to kvmalloc is that those users are
usually not considering all the aspects of the memory allocator. E.g.
allocation requests <= 32kB (with 4kB pages) are basically never failing
and invoke OOM killer to satisfy the allocation. This sounds too
disruptive for something that has a reasonable fallback - the vmalloc.
On the other hand those requests might fallback to vmalloc even when the
memory allocator would succeed after several more reclaim/compaction
attempts previously. There is no guarantee something like that happens
though.
This patch converts many of those places to kv[mz]alloc* helpers because
they are more conservative.

The fifo code in upstream bcache can't use the last element in the buffer,
which was the cause of the bug: if you asked for a power of two size,
it'd give you a fifo that could hold one less than what you asked for

register_cache() is supposed to return an error string on error so that
register_bcache() will will blkdev_put and cleanup other user counters,
but it does not set 'char *err' when cache_alloc() fails (eg, due to
memory pressure) and thus register_bcache() performs no cleanup.
register_bcache() <----------\ <- no jump to err_close, no blkdev_put()
| |
+->register_cache() | <- fails to set char *err

+->cache_alloc() ---/ <- returns error
This patch sets `char *err` for this failure case so that register_cache()
will cause register_bcache() to correctly jump to err_close and do
cleanup. This was tested under OOM conditions that triggered the bug.

Since commit 63a4cc2486, bio->bi_rw contains flags in the lower
portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that
old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely
going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger,
rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break
at compile time instead of at runtime.

Subject : [PATCH v2] bcache: fix a livelock in btree lock
Date : Wed, 25 Feb 2015 20:32:09 +0800 (02/25/2015 04:32:09 AM)
This commit tries to fix a livelock in bcache. This livelock might
happen when we causes a huge number of cache misses simultaneously.
When we get a cache miss, bcache will execute the following path.
->cached_dev_make_request()
->cached_dev_read()
->cached_lookup()
->bch->btree_map_keys()
->btree_root() <------------------------
->bch_btree_map_keys_recurse() |
->cache_lookup_fn() |
->cached_dev_cache_miss() |
->bch_btree_insert_check_key() -|
[If btree->seq is not equal to seq + 1, we should return
EINTR and traverse btree again.]
In bch_btree_insert_check_key() function we first need to check upgrade
flag (op->lock == -1), and when this flag is true we need to release
read btree->lock and try to take write btree->lock. During taking and
releasing this write lock, btree->seq will be monotone increased in
order to prevent other threads modify this in cache miss (see btree.h:74).
But if there are some cache misses caused by some requested, we could
meet a livelock because btree->seq is always changed by others. Thus no
one can make progress.
This commit will try to take write btree->lock if it encounters a race
when we traverse btree. Although it sacrifice the scalability but we
can ensure that only one can modify the btree.

Pull block IO poll support from Jens Axboe:
"Various groups have been doing experimentation around IO polling for

Currently O_DIRECT sync read/write are supported. A framework is in

WORK_STRUCT_PENDING is a mask for testing the pending bit.
test_bit() expects the number of the bit and we need to
use WORK_STRUCT_PENDING_BIT there.
Also work_data_bits() is defined in workqueues.h now.
I have noticed this just by chance when looking how
WORK_STRUCT_PENDING_BIT is used. The change is compile
tested.

The bcache driver has always accepted arbitrarily large bios and split
them internally. Now that every driver must accept arbitrarily large
bios this code isn't nessecary anymore.

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

Some drivers use it now, others just set the limits field manually.
But in preparation for splitting this into a hard and soft limit,
ensure that they all call the proper function for setting the hw
limit for discards.

With the planned cgroup writeback support, backing-dev related
declarations will be more widely used across block and cgroup;
unfortunately, including backing-dev.h from include/linux/blkdev.h
makes cyclic include dependency quite likely.
This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the
essential definitions and updates blkdev.h to include it. c files
which need access to more backing-dev details now include
backing-dev.h directly. This takes backing-dev.h off the common
include dependency chain making it a lot easier to use it across block
and cgroup.
v2: fs/fat build failure fixed.

Commit c4cf5261 ("bio: skip atomic inc/dec of ->bi_remaining for
non-chains") regressed all existing callers that followed this pattern:
1) saving a bio's original bi_end_io
2) wiring up an intermediate bi_end_io
3) restoring the original bi_end_io from intermediate bi_end_io
4) calling bio_endio() to execute the restored original bi_end_io
The regression was due to BIO_CHAIN only ever getting set if
bio_inc_remaining() is called. For the above pattern it isn't set until
step 3 above (step 2 would've needed to establish BIO_CHAIN). As such
the first bio_endio(), in step 2 above, never decremented __bi_remaining
before calling the intermediate bi_end_io -- leaving __bi_remaining with
the value 1 instead of 0. When bio_inc_remaining() occurred during step
3 it brought it to a value of 2. When the second bio_endio() was
called, in step 4 above, it should've called the original bi_end_io but
it didn't because there was an extra reference that wasn't dropped (due
to atomic operations being optimized away since BIO_CHAIN wasn't set
upfront).
Fix this issue by removing the __bi_remaining management complexity for
all callers that use the above pattern -- bio_chain() is the only
interface that _needs_ to be concerned with __bi_remaining. For the
above pattern callers just expect the bi_end_io they set to get called!
Remove bio_endio_nodec() and also remove all bio_inc_remaining() calls
that aren't associated with the bio_chain() interface.
Also, the bio_inc_remaining() interface has been moved local to bio.c.

Struct bio has a reference count that controls when it can be freed.
Most uses cases is allocating the bio, which then returns with a
single reference to it, doing IO, and then dropping that single
reference. We can remove this atomic_dec_and_test() in the completion
path, if nobody else is holding a reference to the bio.
If someone does call bio_get() on the bio, then we flag the bio as
now having valid count and that we must properly honor the reference
count when it's being put.

Clear QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM in all block drivers that set
QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT.
Historically, all block devices have automatically made entropy
contributions. But as previously stated in commit e2e1a148 ("block: add
sysfs knob for turning off disk entropy contributions"):
- On SSD disks, the completion times aren't as random as they
are for rotational drives. So it's questionable whether they
should contribute to the random pool in the first place.
- Calling add_disk_randomness() has a lot of overhead.
There are more reliable sources for randomness than non-rotational block
devices. From a security perspective it is better to err on the side of
caution than to allow entropy contributions from unreliable "random"
sources.

If we goto out_nocoalesce after we free new_nodes[0], we end up freeing
new_nodes[0] again. This was generating a lockdep warning. The fix is
to set new_nodes[0] to NULL, since the out_nocoalesce path safely
ignores NULL entries in the new_nodes array.
This regression was introduced in 2d7f9531.
