[ Upstream commit 78d4eb8ad9e1d413449d1b7a060f50b6efa81ebd ]

clang has identified a code path in which it thinks a
variable may be unused:

drivers/md/bcache/alloc.c:333:4: error: variable 'bucket' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false
      [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
                        fifo_pop(&amp;ca-&gt;free_inc, bucket);

                        long bucket;
                                   ^

This cannot happen in practice because we only enter the loop
if there is at least one element in the list.

Slightly rearranging the code makes this clearer to both the
reader and the compiler, which avoids the warning.

<title>bcache: add failure check to run_cache_set() for journal replay</title>

[ Upstream commit ce3e4cfb59cb382f8e5ce359238aa580d4ae7778 ]

Currently run_cache_set() has no return value, if there is failure in
bch_journal_replay(), the caller of run_cache_set() has no idea about
such failure and just continue to execute following code after
run_cache_set().  The internal failure is triggered inside
bch_journal_replay() and being handled in async way. This behavior is
inefficient, while failure handling inside bch_journal_replay(), cache
register code is still running to start the cache set. Registering and
unregistering code running as same time may introduce some rare race
condition, and make the code to be more hard to be understood.

This patch adds return value to run_cache_set(), and returns -EIO if
bch_journal_rreplay() fails. Then caller of run_cache_set() may detect
such failure and stop registering code flow immedidately inside
register_cache_set().

If journal replay fails, run_cache_set() can report error immediately
to register_cache_set(). This patch makes the failure handling for
bch_journal_replay() be in synchronized way, easier to understand and
debug, and avoid poetential race condition for register-and-unregister
in same time.

[ Upstream commit 631207314d88e9091be02fbdd1fdadb1ae2ed79a ]

journal replay failed with messages:
Sep 10 19:10:43 ceph kernel: bcache: error on
bb379a64-e44e-4812-b91d-a5599871a3b1: bcache: journal entries
2057493-2057567 missing! (replaying 2057493-2076601), disabling
caching

The reason is in journal_reclaim(), when discard is enabled, we send
discard command and reclaim those journal buckets whose seq is old
than the last_seq_now, but before we write a journal with last_seq_now,
the machine is restarted, so the journal with the last_seq_now is not
written to the journal bucket, and the last_seq_wrote in the newest
journal is old than last_seq_now which we expect to be, so when we doing
replay, journals from last_seq_wrote to last_seq_now are missing.

It's hard to write a journal immediately after journal_reclaim(),
and it harmless if those missed journal are caused by discarding
since those journals are already wrote to btree node. So, if miss
seqs are started from the beginning journal, we treat it as normal,
and only print a message to show the miss journal, and point out
it maybe caused by discarding.

Patch v2 add a judgement condition to ignore the missed journal
only when discard enabled as Coly suggested.

(Coly Li: rebase the patch with other changes in bch_journal_replay())

[ Upstream commit 68d10e6979a3b59e3cd2e90bfcafed79c4cf180a ]

When failure happens inside bch_journal_replay(), calling
cache_set_err_on() and handling the failure in async way is not a good
idea. Because after bch_journal_replay() returns, registering code will
continue to execute following steps, and unregistering code triggered
by cache_set_err_on() is running in same time. First it is unnecessary
to handle failure and unregister cache set in an async way, second there
might be potential race condition to run register and unregister code
for same cache set.

So in this patch, if failure happens in bch_journal_replay(), we don't
call cache_set_err_on(), and just print out the same error message to
kernel message buffer, then return -EIO immediately caller. Then caller
can detect such failure and handle it in synchrnozied way.

<title>bcache: never set KEY_PTRS of journal key to 0 in journal_reclaim()</title>

commit 1bee2addc0c8470c8aaa65ef0599eeae96dd88bc upstream.

In journal_reclaim() ja-&gt;cur_idx of each cache will be update to
reclaim available journal buckets. Variable 'int n' is used to count how
many cache is successfully reclaimed, then n is set to c-&gt;journal.key
by SET_KEY_PTRS(). Later in journal_write_unlocked(), a for_each_cache()
loop will write the jset data onto each cache.

The problem is, if all jouranl buckets on each cache is full, the
following code in journal_reclaim(),

529 for_each_cache(ca, c, iter) {
530       struct journal_device *ja = &amp;ca-&gt;journal;
531       unsigned int next = (ja-&gt;cur_idx + 1) % ca-&gt;sb.njournal_buckets;
532
533       /* No space available on this device */
534       if (next == ja-&gt;discard_idx)
535               continue;
536
537       ja-&gt;cur_idx = next;
538       k-&gt;ptr[n++] = MAKE_PTR(0,
539                         bucket_to_sector(c, ca-&gt;sb.d[ja-&gt;cur_idx]),
540                         ca-&gt;sb.nr_this_dev);
541 }
542
543 bkey_init(k);
544 SET_KEY_PTRS(k, n);

If there is no available bucket to reclaim, the if() condition at line
534 will always true, and n remains 0. Then at line 544, SET_KEY_PTRS()
will set KEY_PTRS field of c-&gt;journal.key to 0.

Setting KEY_PTRS field of c-&gt;journal.key to 0 is wrong. Because in
journal_write_unlocked() the journal data is written in following loop,

649	for (i = 0; i &lt; KEY_PTRS(k); i++) {
650-671		submit journal data to cache device
672	}

If KEY_PTRS field is set to 0 in jouranl_reclaim(), the journal data
won't be written to cache device here. If system crahed or rebooted
before bkeys of the lost journal entries written into btree nodes, data
corruption will be reported during bcache reload after rebooting the
system.

Indeed there is only one cache in a cache set, there is no need to set
KEY_PTRS field in journal_reclaim() at all. But in order to keep the
for_each_cache() logic consistent for now, this patch fixes the above
problem by not setting 0 KEY_PTRS of journal key, if there is no bucket
available to reclaim.

commit 1bee2addc0c8470c8aaa65ef0599eeae96dd88bc upstream.

In journal_reclaim() ja-&gt;cur_idx of each cache will be update to
reclaim available journal buckets. Variable 'int n' is used to count how
many cache is successfully reclaimed, then n is set to c-&gt;journal.key
by SET_KEY_PTRS(). Later in journal_write_unlocked(), a for_each_cache()
loop will write the jset data onto each cache.

The problem is, if all jouranl buckets on each cache is full, the
following code in journal_reclaim(),

529 for_each_cache(ca, c, iter) {
530       struct journal_device *ja = &amp;ca-&gt;journal;
531       unsigned int next = (ja-&gt;cur_idx + 1) % ca-&gt;sb.njournal_buckets;
532
533       /* No space available on this device */
534       if (next == ja-&gt;discard_idx)
535               continue;
536
537       ja-&gt;cur_idx = next;
538       k-&gt;ptr[n++] = MAKE_PTR(0,
539                         bucket_to_sector(c, ca-&gt;sb.d[ja-&gt;cur_idx]),
540                         ca-&gt;sb.nr_this_dev);
541 }
542
543 bkey_init(k);
544 SET_KEY_PTRS(k, n);

If there is no available bucket to reclaim, the if() condition at line
534 will always true, and n remains 0. Then at line 544, SET_KEY_PTRS()
will set KEY_PTRS field of c-&gt;journal.key to 0.

Setting KEY_PTRS field of c-&gt;journal.key to 0 is wrong. Because in
journal_write_unlocked() the journal data is written in following loop,

649	for (i = 0; i &lt; KEY_PTRS(k); i++) {

commit a4b732a248d12cbdb46999daf0bf288c011335eb upstream.

There is a race between cache device register and cache set unregister.
For an already registered cache device, register_bcache will call
bch_is_open to iterate through all cachesets and check every cache
there. The race occurs if cache_set_free executes at the same time and
clears the caches right before ca is dereferenced in bch_is_open_cache.
To close the race, let's make sure the clean up work is protected by
the bch_register_lock as well.

This issue can be reproduced as follows,
while true; do echo /dev/XXX&gt; /sys/fs/bcache/register ; done&amp;
while true; do echo 1&gt; /sys/block/XXX/bcache/set/unregister ; done &amp;

and results in the following oops,

<content type='text'>
This patch introduces one extra iterator variable to bio_for_each_segment_all(),
then we can allow bio_for_each_segment_all() to iterate over multi-page bvec.

Given it is just one mechannical &amp; simple change on all bio_for_each_segment_all()
users, this patch does tree-wide change in one single patch, so that we can
avoid to use a temporary helper for this conversion.

bch_bio_alloc_pages() is always called on one new bio, so it is safe
to access the bvec table directly. Given it is the only kind of this
case, open code the bvec table access since bio_for_each_segment_all()
will be changed to support for iterating over multipage bvec.

<title>bcache: use (REQ_META|REQ_PRIO) to indicate bio for metadata</title>

<id>dc7292a5bcb4c878b076fca2ac3fc22f81b8f8df</id>
<content type='text'>
In 'commit 752f66a75aba ("bcache: use REQ_PRIO to indicate bio for
metadata")' REQ_META is replaced by REQ_PRIO to indicate metadata bio.
This assumption is not always correct, e.g. XFS uses REQ_META to mark
metadata bio other than REQ_PRIO. This is why Nix noticed that bcache
does not cache metadata for XFS after the above commit.

Thanks to Dave Chinner, he explains the difference between REQ_META and
REQ_PRIO from view of file system developer. Here I quote part of his
explanation from mailing list,
   REQ_META is used for metadata. REQ_PRIO is used to communicate to
   the lower layers that the submitter considers this IO to be more
   important that non REQ_PRIO IO and so dispatch should be expedited.

   IOWs, if the filesystem considers metadata IO to be more important
   that user data IO, then it will use REQ_PRIO | REQ_META rather than
   just REQ_META.

Then it seems bios with REQ_META or REQ_PRIO should both be cached for
performance optimation, because they are all probably low I/O latency
demand by upper layer (e.g. file system).

So in this patch, when we want to decide whether to bypass the cache,
REQ_META and REQ_PRIO are both checked. Then both metadata and
high priority I/O requests will be handled properly.
