[ Upstream commit d2d05b88035d2d51a5bb6c5afec88a0880c73df4 ]

Inside set_at_max_writeback_rate() the calculation in following if()
check is wrong,
	if (atomic_inc_return(&amp;c-&gt;idle_counter) &lt;
	    atomic_read(&amp;c-&gt;attached_dev_nr) * 6)

Because each attached backing device has its own writeback thread
running and increasing c-&gt;idle_counter, the counter increates much
faster than expected. The correct calculation should be,
	(counter / dev_nr) &lt; dev_nr * 6
which equals to,
	counter &lt; dev_nr * dev_nr * 6

This patch fixes the above mistake with correct calculation, and helper
routine idle_counter_exceeded() is added to make code be more clear.

commit 40f567bbb3b0639d2ec7d1c6ad4b1b018f80cf19 upstream.

The function kzalloc() in detached_dev_do_request() can fail, so its
return value should be checked.

commit afe78ab46f638ecdf80a35b122ffc92c20d9ae5d upstream.

This is potentially long running and not latency sensitive, let's get
it out of the way of other latency sensitive events.

As observed in the previous commit, the `system_wq` comes easily
congested by bcache, and this fixes a few more stalls I was observing
every once in a while.

Let's not make this `WQ_MEM_RECLAIM` as it showed to reduce performance
of boot and file system operations in my tests. Also, without
`WQ_MEM_RECLAIM`, I no longer see desktop stalls. This matches the
previous behavior as `system_wq` also does no memory reclaim:

&gt; // workqueue.c:
&gt; system_wq = alloc_workqueue("events", 0, 0);

commit d797bd9897e3559eb48d68368550d637d32e468c upstream.

Before killing `btree_io_wq`, the queue was allocated using
`create_singlethread_workqueue()` which has `WQ_MEM_RECLAIM`. After
killing it, it no longer had this property but `system_wq` is not
single threaded.

Let's combine both worlds and make it multi threaded but able to
reclaim memory.

commit 9f233ffe02e5cef611100cd8c5bcf4de26ca7bef upstream.

This reverts commit 56b30770b27d54d68ad51eccc6d888282b568cee.

With the btree using the `system_wq`, I seem to see a lot more desktop
latency than I should.

After some more investigation, it looks like the original assumption
of 56b3077 no longer is true, and bcache has a very high potential of
congesting the `system_wq`. In turn, this introduces laggy desktop
performance, IO stalls (at least with btrfs), and input events may be
delayed.

So let's revert this. It's important to note that the semantics of
using `system_wq` previously mean that `btree_io_wq` should be created
before and destroyed after other bcache wqs to keep the same
assumptions.

This patch fix a lost wake-up problem caused by the race between
mca_cannibalize_lock and bch_cannibalize_unlock.

Consider two processes, A and B. Process A is executing
mca_cannibalize_lock, while process B takes c-&gt;btree_cache_alloc_lock
and is executing bch_cannibalize_unlock. The problem happens that after
process A executes cmpxchg and will execute prepare_to_wait. In this
timeslice process B executes wake_up, but after that process A executes
prepare_to_wait and set the state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. Then process A
goes to sleep but no one will wake up it. This problem may cause bcache
device to dead.

[ Upstream commit 65f0f017e7be8c70330372df23bcb2a407ecf02d ]

For some block devices which large capacity (e.g. 8TB) but small io_opt
size (e.g. 8 sectors), in bcache_device_init() the stripes number calcu-
lated by,
	DIV_ROUND_UP_ULL(sectors, d-&gt;stripe_size);
might be overflow to the unsigned int bcache_device-&gt;nr_stripes.

This patch uses the uint64_t variable to store DIV_ROUND_UP_ULL()
and after the value is checked to be available in unsigned int range,
sets it to bache_device-&gt;nr_stripes. Then the overflow is avoided.

<id>c573e8673dc1fb89012e95e793e783f7d5267f2f</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 7a1481267999c02abf4a624515c1b5c7c1fccbd6 upstream.

offset_to_stripe() returns the stripe number (in type unsigned int) from
an offset (in type uint64_t) by the following calculation,
	do_div(offset, d-&gt;stripe_size);
For large capacity backing device (e.g. 18TB) with small stripe size
(e.g. 4KB), the result is 4831838208 and exceeds UINT_MAX. The actual
returned value which caller receives is 536870912, due to the overflow.

Indeed in bcache_device_init(), bcache_device-&gt;nr_stripes is limited in
range [1, INT_MAX]. Therefore all valid stripe numbers in bcache are
in range [0, bcache_dev-&gt;nr_stripes - 1].

This patch adds a upper limition check in offset_to_stripe(): the max
valid stripe number should be less than bcache_device-&gt;nr_stripes. If
the calculated stripe number from do_div() is equal to or larger than
bcache_device-&gt;nr_stripe, -EINVAL will be returned. (Normally nr_stripes
is less than INT_MAX, exceeding upper limitation doesn't mean overflow,
therefore -EOVERFLOW is not used as error code.)

This patch also changes nr_stripes' type of struct bcache_device from
'unsigned int' to 'int', and return value type of offset_to_stripe()
from 'unsigned int' to 'int', to match their exact data ranges.

All locations where bcache_device-&gt;nr_stripes and offset_to_stripe() are
referenced also get updated for the above type change.

commit 7a1481267999c02abf4a624515c1b5c7c1fccbd6 upstream.

offset_to_stripe() returns the stripe number (in type unsigned int) from
an offset (in type uint64_t) by the following calculation,
	do_div(offset, d-&gt;stripe_size);
For large capacity backing device (e.g. 18TB) with small stripe size
(e.g. 4KB), the result is 4831838208 and exceeds UINT_MAX. The actual
returned value which caller receives is 536870912, due to the overflow.

Indeed in bcache_device_init(), bcache_device-&gt;nr_stripes is limited in
range [1, INT_MAX]. Therefore all valid stripe numbers in bcache are
in range [0, bcache_dev-&gt;nr_stripes - 1].

This patch adds a upper limition check in offset_to_stripe(): the max
valid stripe number should be less than bcache_device-&gt;nr_stripes. If
the calculated stripe number from do_div() is equal to or larger than
bcache_device-&gt;nr_stripe, -EINVAL will be returned. (Normally nr_stripes
is less than INT_MAX, exceeding upper limitation doesn't mean overflow,
therefore -EOVERFLOW is not used as error code.)

This patch also changes nr_stripes' type of struct bcache_device from
'unsigned int' to 'int', and return value type of offset_to_stripe()
from 'unsigned int' to 'int', to match their exact data ranges.

commit 5fe48867856367142d91a82f2cbf7a57a24cbb70 upstream.

There are some meta data of bcache are allocated by multiple pages,
and they are used as bio bv_page for I/Os to the cache device. for
example cache_set-&gt;uuids, cache-&gt;disk_buckets, journal_write-&gt;data,
bset_tree-&gt;data.

For such meta data memory, all the allocated pages should be treated
as a single memory block. Then the memory management and underlying I/O
code can treat them more clearly.

This patch adds __GFP_COMP flag to all the location allocating &gt;0 order
pages for the above mentioned meta data. Then their pages are treated
as compound pages now.
