2018-03-18bcache: add CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE to struct cache_set flagsColy Li
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. Changelog v4, add wait_for_kthread_stop(), and call it before exits writeback and gc kernel threads. v3, change CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE from 4 to 3, since it is bit index. remove "bcache: " prefix when printing out kernel message. v2, more changes by previous review, - Use CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE of cache_set->flags, suggested by Junhui. - Check CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE in bch_btree_gc() to stop a while-loop, this is reported and inspired from origal patch of Pavel Vazharov. v1, initial version.

2018-02-07bcache: properly set task state in bch_writeback_thread()Coly Li
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. Changelog: v3: merge two similar fixes into one patch v2: fix the race issue in v1 patch. v1: initial buggy fix.

2018-01-08bcache: segregate flash only volume write streamsTang Junhui
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.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
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.

2017-10-16bcache: check ca->alloc_thread initialized before wake up itColy Li
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.

2017-09-06bcache: increase the number of open bucketsTang Junhui
In currently, we only alloc 6 open buckets for each cache set, but in usually, we always attach about 10 or so backend devices for each cache set, and the each bcache device are always accessed by about 10 or so threads in top application layer. So 6 open buckets 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 bcache device is accessed by ten threads. 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 same thread always write/read the same backend device, so it is good for write-back and also promote the usage efficiency of buckets.

2014-03-18bcache: Rework btree cache reserve handlingKent Overstreet
This changes the bucket allocation reserves to use _real_ reserves - separate freelists - instead of watermarks, which if nothing else makes the current code saner to reason about and is going to be important in the future when we add support for multiple btrees. It also adds btree_check_reserve(), which checks (and locks) the reserves for both bucket allocation and memory allocation for btree nodes; the old code just kinda sorta assumed that since (e.g. for btree node splits) it had the root locked and that meant no other threads could try to make use of the same reserve; this technically should have been ok for memory allocation (we should always have a reserve for memory allocation (the btree node cache is used as a reserve and we preallocate it)), but multiple btrees will mean that locking the root won't be sufficient anymore, and for the bucket allocation reserve it was technically possible for the old code to deadlock.

The way they were scaled together wasn't as correct as it could be... this patch improves and documents it. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
2014-01-08bcache: Rework allocator reservesKent Overstreet
We need a reserve for allocating buckets for new btree nodes - and now that we've got multiple btrees, it really needs to be per btree. This reworks the reserves so we've got separate freelists for each reserve instead of watermarks, which seems to make things a bit cleaner, and it adds some code so that btree_split() can make sure the reserve is available before it starts.

2013-12-16bcache: bugfix - moving_gc now moves only correct bucketsNicholas Swenson
Removed gc_move_threshold because picking buckets only by threshold could lead moving extra buckets (ei. if there are buckets at the threshold that aren't supposed to be moved do to space considerations). This is replaced by a GC_MOVE bit in the gc_mark bitmask. Now only marked buckets get moved. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Swenson <nks@daterainc.com> Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
2013-11-10bcache: Don't bother with bucket refcount for btree node allocationsKent Overstreet
The bucket refcount (dropped with bkey_put()) is only needed to prevent the newly allocated bucket from being garbage collected until we've added a pointer to it somewhere. But for btree node allocations, the fact that we have btree nodes locked is enough to guard against races with garbage collection. Eventually the per bucket refcount is going to be replaced with something specific to bch_alloc_sectors(). Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
2013-11-10bcache: Debug code improvementsKent Overstreet
Couple changes: * Consolidate bch_check_keys() and bch_check_key_order(), and move the checks that only check_key_order() could do to bch_btree_iter_next(). * Get rid of CONFIG_BCACHE_EDEBUG - now, all that code is compiled in when CONFIG_BCACHE_DEBUG is enabled, and there's now a sysfs file to flip on the EDEBUG checks at runtime. * Dropped an old not terribly useful check in rw_unlock(), and refactored/improved a some of the other debug code.

2013-11-10bcache: Convert gc to a kthreadKent Overstreet
We needed a dedicated rescuer workqueue for gc anyways... and gc was conceptually a dedicated thread, just one that wasn't running all the time. Switch it to a dedicated thread to make the code a bit more straightforward. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
2013-11-10bcache: Convert bucket_wait to wait_queue_head_tKent Overstreet
At one point we did do fancy asynchronous waiting stuff with bucket_wait, but that's all gone (and bucket_wait is used a lot less than it used to be). So use the standard primitives. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
2013-11-10bcache: Use blkdev_issue_discard()Kent Overstreet
The old asynchronous discard code was really a relic from when all the allocation code was asynchronous - now that allocation runs out of a dedicated thread there's no point in keeping around all that complicated machinery. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
2013-07-12bcache: Allocation kthread fixesKent Overstreet
The alloc kthread should've been using try_to_freeze() - and also there was the potential for the alloc kthread to get woken up after it had shut down, which would have been bad. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
2013-06-26bcache: Fix/revamp tracepointsKent Overstreet
The tracepoints were reworked to be more sensible, and fixed a null pointer deref in one of the tracepoints. Converted some of the pr_debug()s to tracepoints - this is partly a performance optimization; it used to be that with DEBUG or CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG pr_debug() was an empty macro; but at some point it was changed to an empty inline function. Some of the pr_debug() statements had rather expensive function calls as part of the arguments, so this code was getting run unnecessarily even on non debug kernels - in some fast paths, too.

Using a workqueue when we just want a single thread is a bit silly. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <koverstreet@google.com>
2013-04-30bcache: Allocator cleanup/fixesKent Overstreet
The main fix is that bch_allocator_thread() wasn't waiting on garbage collection to finish (if invalidate_buckets had set ca->invalidate_needs_gc); we need that to make sure the allocator doesn't spin and potentially block gc from finishing. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <koverstreet@google.com>
