When bch_cache_set_alloc() fails to kzalloc the cache_set, the
asyncronous closure handling tries to dereference a cache_set that

by __cache_set_unregister() during cleanup. This appears to happen only
during an OOM condition on bcache_register.

Previously, it would only scan the entire disk if it was starting from
the very start of the disk - i.e. if the previous scan got to the end.
This was broken by refill_full_stripes(), which updates last_scanned so
that refill_dirty was never triggering the searched_from_start path.
But if we change refill_dirty() to always scan the entire disk if
necessary, regardless of what last_scanned was, the code gets cleaner
and we fix that bug too.

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.

"Various groups have been doing experimentation around IO polling for

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

this. And we'll add libaio support as well soon. Fow now, it's an
opt-in feature for test purposes"

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.

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.

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.
