bcache: add separate workqueue for journal_write to avoid deadlock

2018-09-27T15:47:01+00:00

After write SSD completed, bcache schedules journal_write work to
system_wq, which is a public workqueue in system, without WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
flag. system_wq is also a bound wq, and there may be no idle kworker on
current processor. Creating a new kworker may unfortunately need to
reclaim memory first, by shrinking cache and slab used by vfs, which
depends on bcache device. That's a deadlock.

This patch create a new workqueue for journal_write with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
flag. It's rescuer thread will work to avoid the deadlock.

bcache: replace printk() by pr_*() routines

2018-08-11T21:46:41+00:00

There are still many places in bcache use printk to display kernel
message, which are suggested to be preplaced by pr_*() routines like
pr_err(), pr_info(), or pr_notice().

This patch replaces all printk() with a proper pr_*() routine for
bcache code.
