Commit abfc426d1b2f ("block: pass a block_device to bio_clone_fast")
calls the modified bio_alloc_clone() in bcache code as:
	bio_init_clone(bio-&gt;bi_bdev, bio, orig_bio, GFP_NOIO);

But the first parameter is wrong, where bio-&gt;bi_bdev should be
orig_bio-&gt;bi_bdev. The wrong bi_bdev panics the kernel when submitting
cache bio.

This patch fixes the wrong bdev parameter usage and avoid the panic.

<title>bcache: put bch_bio_map() back to correct location in journal_write_unlocked()</title>

Commit a7c50c940477 ("block: pass a block_device and opf to bio_reset")
moves bch_bio_map() inside journal_write_unlocked() next to the location
where the modified bio_reset() was called.

This change is wrong because calling bch_bio_map() immediately after
bio_reset(), a BUG_ON(!bio-&gt;bi_iter.bi_size) inside bch_bio_map() will
be triggered and panic the kernel.

This patch puts bch_bio_map() back to its original correct location in
journal_write_unlocked() and avoid the BUG_ON().

When multiple threads to check btree nodes in parallel, the main
thread wait for all threads to stop or CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE flag:

wait_event_interruptible(check_state-&gt;wait,
                         atomic_read(&amp;check_state-&gt;started) == 0 ||
                         test_bit(CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE, &amp;c-&gt;flags));

However, the bch_btree_node_read and bch_btree_node_read_done
maybe call bch_cache_set_error, then the CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE
will be set. If the flag already set, the main thread return
error. At the same time, maybe some threads still running and
read NULL pointer, the kernel will crash.

This patch change the event wait condition, the main thread must
wait for all threads to stop.

<title>bcache: fixup bcache_dev_sectors_dirty_add() multithreaded CPU false sharing</title>

<id>7b1002f7cfe581930f63787a0b3de0144e61ed55</id>
<content type='text'>
When attaching a cached device (a.k.a backing device) to a cache
device, bch_sectors_dirty_init() is called to count dirty sectors
and stripes (see what bcache_dev_sectors_dirty_add() does) on the
cache device.

When bcache_dev_sectors_dirty_add() is called, set_bit(stripe,
d-&gt;full_dirty_stripes) or clear_bit(stripe, d-&gt;full_dirty_stripes)
operation will always be performed. In full_dirty_stripes, each 1bit
represents stripe_size (8192) sectors (512B), so 1bit=4MB (8192*512),
and each CPU cache line=64B=512bit=2048MB. When 20 threads process
a cached disk with 100G dirty data, a single thread processes about
23M at a time, and 20 threads total 460M. These full_dirty_stripes
bits corresponding to the 460M data is likely to fall in the same CPU
cache line. When one of these threads performs a set_bit or clear_bit
operation, the same CPU cache line of other threads will become invalid
and must read the full_dirty_stripes from the main memory again. Compared
with single thread, the time of a bcache_dev_sectors_dirty_add()
call is increased by about 50 times in our test (100G dirty data,
20 threads, bcache_dev_sectors_dirty_add() is called more than
20 million times).

This patch tries to test_bit before set_bit or clear_bit operation.
Therefore, a lot of force set and clear operations will be avoided,
and most of bcache_dev_sectors_dirty_add() calls will only read CPU
cache line.

__bio_clone_fast should also clone integrity and crypto data, as a clone
without those is incomplete.  Right now the only caller that can actually
support crypto and integrity data (dm) does it manually for the one
callchain that supports these, but we better do it properly in the core.

Note that all callers except for the above mentioned one also don't need
to handle failure at all, given that the integrity and crypto clones are
based on mempool allocations that won't fail for sleeping allocations.

Pass the block_device that we plan to use this bio for and the

can be passed, both for the passthrough case on a raw request_queue and
to temporarily avoid refactoring some nasty code.
