[ Upstream commit 4eca1cb28d8b0574ca4f1f48e9331c5f852d43b9 ]

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.

<title>bcache: stop writeback thread after detaching</title>

[ Upstream commit 8d29c4426b9f8afaccf28de414fde8a722b35fdf ]

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 &gt;/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 &gt; /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.

<title>bcache: ret IOERR when read meets metadata error</title>

[ Upstream commit b221fc130c49c50f4c2250d22e873420765a9fa2 ]

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-&gt;iop.status is still its initially value(0) before
we submit s-&gt;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.

<title>bcache: don't attach backing with duplicate UUID</title>

commit 86755b7a96faed57f910f9e6b8061e019ac1ec08 upstream.

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.

Attempts to attach a duplicate device result in:

[  136.372404] loop: module loaded
[  136.424461] bcache: register_bdev() registered backing device loop0
[  136.424464] bcache: bch_cached_dev_attach() Tried to attach loop0 but duplicate UUID already attached

My test procedure is:

  dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=imgfile bs=1024 count=262144
  losetup -f imgfile

When registering duplicate cache device in register_cache(), after failure
on calling register_cache_set(), bch_cache_release() will be called, then
bdev will be freed, so bdevname(bdev, name) caused kernel crash.

Since bch_cache_release() will free bdev, so in this patch we make sure
bdev being freed if register_cache() fail, and do not free bdev again in
register_bcache() when register_cache() fail.

When registering duplicate cache device in register_cache(), after failure
on calling register_cache_set(), bch_cache_release() will be called, then
bdev will be freed, so bdevname(bdev, name) caused kernel crash.

Since bch_cache_release() will free bdev, so in this patch we make sure
bdev being freed if register_cache() fail, and do not free bdev again in
register_bcache() when register_cache() fail.

register_shrinker is now __must_check, so check it to kill a warning.
Caller of bch_btree_cache_alloc in super.c appropriately checks return
value so this is fully plumbed through.

This V2 fixes checkpatch warnings and improves the commit description,
as I was too hasty getting the previous version out.

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

<id>e393aa2446150536929140739f09c6ecbcbea7f0</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

<title>bcache: Fix building error on MIPS</title>

This patch try to fix the building error on MIPS. The reason is MIPS
has already defined the PTR macro, which conflicts with the PTR macro
in include/uapi/linux/bcache.h.

<title>bcache: add a comment in journal bucket reading</title>

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-&gt;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-&gt;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.
