commit b16671e8f493e3df40b1fb0dff4078f391c5099a upstream.

When large bucket feature was added, BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LARGE_BUCKET
was introduced into the incompat feature set. It used bucket_size_hi
(which was added at the tail of struct cache_sb_disk) to extend current
16bit bucket size to 32bit with existing bucket_size in struct
cache_sb_disk.

This is not a good idea, there are two obvious problems,
- Bucket size is always value power of 2, if store log2(bucket size) in
  existing bucket_size of struct cache_sb_disk, it is unnecessary to add
  bucket_size_hi.
- Macro csum_set() assumes d[SB_JOURNAL_BUCKETS] is the last member in
  struct cache_sb_disk, bucket_size_hi was added after d[] which makes
  csum_set calculate an unexpected super block checksum.

To fix the above problems, this patch introduces a new incompat feature
bit BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LOG_LARGE_BUCKET_SIZE, when this bit is set, it
means bucket_size in struct cache_sb_disk stores the order of power-of-2
bucket size value. When user specifies a bucket size larger than 32768
sectors, BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LOG_LARGE_BUCKET_SIZE will be set to
incompat feature set, and bucket_size stores log2(bucket size) more
than store the real bucket size value.

The obsoleted BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LARGE_BUCKET won't be used anymore,
it is renamed to BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_OBSO_LARGE_BUCKET and still only
recognized by kernel driver for legacy compatible purpose. The previous
bucket_size_hi is renmaed to obso_bucket_size_hi in struct cache_sb_disk
and not used in bcache-tools anymore.

For cache device created with BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LARGE_BUCKET feature,
bcache-tools and kernel driver still recognize the feature string and
display it as "obso_large_bucket".

With this change, the unnecessary extra space extend of bcache on-disk
super block can be avoided, and csum_set() may generate expected check
sum as well.

commit 1dfc0686c29a9bbd3a446a29f9ccde3dec3bc75a upstream.

This patch adds the check for features which is incompatible for
current supported feature sets.

Now if the bcache device created by bcache-tools has features that
current kernel doesn't support, read_super() will fail with error
messoage. E.g. if an unsupported incompatible feature detected,
bcache register will fail with dmesg "bcache: register_bcache() error :
Unsupported incompatible feature found".

Fixes: d721a43ff69c ("bcache: increase super block version for cache device and backing device")

Since bcache code was merged into mainline kerrnel, each cache set only
as one single cache in it. The multiple caches framework is here but the
code is far from completed. Considering the multiple copies of cached
data can also be stored on e.g. md raid1 devices, it is unnecessary to
support multiple caches in one cache set indeed.

The previous preparation patches fix the dependencies of explicitly
making a cache set only have single cache. Now we don't have to maintain
an embedded partial super block in struct cache_set, the in-memory super
block can be directly referenced from struct cache.

This patch removes the embedded struct cache_sb from struct cache_set,
and fixes all locations where the superb lock was referenced from this
removed super block by referencing the in-memory super block of struct
cache.

from cache set and reference cache's in-memory super block from struct
cache_set, the sync status can set and check directly on cache's super

After removing the embedded struct cache_sb from struct cache_set, cache

It is unnecessary to compare block_size, bucket_size and nr_in_set from

In order to update the partial super block of cache set, the seq numbers
of cache and cache set are checked in register_cache_set(). If cache's
seq number is larger than cache set's seq number, cache set must update
its partial super block from cache's super block. It is unncessary when
