bcache: don't embed 'return' statements in closure macros

2015-07-11T15:57:32+00:00

This is horribly confusing, it breaks the flow of the code without
it being apparent in the caller.

writeback: separate out include/linux/backing-dev-defs.h

2015-06-02T14:33:34+00:00

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.

bio: skip atomic inc/dec of ->bi_cnt for most use cases

2015-05-05T19:32:49+00:00

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.

md/bcache: use generic io stats accounting functions to simplify io stat accounting

Use generic io stats accounting help functions (generic_{start,end}_io_acct)
to simplify io stat accounting.

bcache: Fix moving_gc deadlocking with a foreground write

2014-03-18T19:22:33+00:00

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.

bcache: Fix flash_dev_cache_miss() for real this time

2014-02-26T02:41:11+00:00

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...
