All the crash issue happened when a bypass IO coming, in such scenario
s-&gt;iop.bio is pointed to the s-&gt;orig_bio. In search_free(), it finishes the
s-&gt;orig_bio by calling bio_complete(), and after that, s-&gt;iop.bio became
invalid, then kernel would crash when calling bio_put(). Maybe its upper
layer's faulty, since bio should not be freed before we calling bio_put(),
but we'd better calling bio_put() first before calling bio_complete() to
notify upper layer ending this bio.

This patch moves bio_complete() under bio_put() to avoid kernel crash.

[ Upstream commit c157313791a999646901b3e3c6888514ebc36d62 ]

Currently, Cache missed IOs are identified by s-&gt;cache_miss, but actually,
there are many situations that missed IOs are not assigned a value for
s-&gt;cache_miss in cached_dev_cache_miss(), for example, a bypassed IO
(s-&gt;iop.bypass = 1), or the cache_bio allocate failed. In these situations,
it will go to out_put or out_submit, and s-&gt;cache_miss is null, which leads
bch_mark_cache_accounting() to treat this IO as a hit IO.

<title>bcache: recover data from backing when data is clean</title>

commit e393aa2446150536929140739f09c6ecbcbea7f0 upstream.

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-&gt;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-&gt;recoverable &amp;&amp; (dc &amp;&amp; !atomic_read(&amp;dc-&gt;has_dirty))) is false in
cached_dev_read_error(). In this situation, the s-&gt;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-&gt;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.

commit d59b23795933678c9638fd20c942d2b4f3cd6185 upstream.

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-&gt;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.

commit d59b23795933678c9638fd20c942d2b4f3cd6185 upstream.

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-&gt;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.

<title>bcache: Fix moving_gc deadlocking with a foreground write</title>

Deadlock happened because a foreground write slept, waiting for a bucket
to be allocated. Normally the gc would mark buckets available for invalidation.
But the moving_gc was stuck waiting for outstanding writes to complete.
These writes used the bcache_wq, the same queue foreground writes used.

This fix gives moving_gc its own work queue, so it was still finish moving
even if foreground writes are stuck waiting for allocation. It also makes
work queue a parameter to the data_insert path, so moving_gc can use its
workqueue for writes.

The code was using sectors to count the number of sectors it was zeroing... but
then it passed it to bio_advance()... after it had been set to 0. Amusing...
