In run_cache_set() after c-&gt;root returned from bch_btree_node_get(), it
is checked by IS_ERR_OR_NULL(). Indeed it is unncessary to check NULL
because bch_btree_node_get() will not return NULL pointer to caller.

This patch replaces IS_ERR_OR_NULL() by IS_ERR() for the above reason.

This patch adds code comments to bch_btree_node_get() and
__bch_btree_node_alloc() that NULL pointer will not be returned and it
is unnecessary to check NULL pointer by the callers of these routines.

```

The crash occurred when call wake_up(&amp;state-&gt;wait), and then we want
to look at the value in the state. However, bch_sectors_dirty_init()
is not found in the stack of any task. Since state is allocated on
the stack, we guess that bch_sectors_dirty_init() has exited, causing
bch_dirty_init_thread() to be unable to handle kernel paging request.

In order to verify this idea, we added some printing information during
wake_up(&amp;state-&gt;wait). We find that "wake up" is printed twice, however
we only expect the last thread to wake up once.

```dmesg
[  994.641004] alcache: bch_dirty_init_thread() wake up
[  994.641018] alcache: bch_dirty_init_thread() wake up
[  994.641523] alcache: bch_sectors_dirty_init() init exit
```

There is a race. If bch_sectors_dirty_init() exits after the first wake
up, the second wake up will trigger this bug("unable to handle kernel
paging request").

Proceed as follows:

bch_sectors_dirty_init
    kthread_run ==============&gt; bch_dirty_init_thread(bch_dirtcnt[0])
            ...                         ...
    atomic_inc(&amp;state.started)          ...
            ...                         ...
    atomic_read(&amp;state.enough)          ...
            ...                 atomic_set(&amp;state-&gt;enough, 1)
    kthread_run ======================================================&gt; bch_dirty_init_thread(bch_dirtcnt[1])
            ...                 atomic_dec_and_test(&amp;state-&gt;started)            ...
    atomic_inc(&amp;state.started)          ...                                     ...
            ...                 wake_up(&amp;state-&gt;wait)                           ...
    atomic_read(&amp;state.enough)                                          atomic_dec_and_test(&amp;state-&gt;started)
            ...                                                                 ...
    wait_event(state.wait, atomic_read(&amp;state.started) == 0)                    ...
    return                                                                      ...
                                                                        wake_up(&amp;state-&gt;wait)

We believe it is very common to wake up twice if there is no dirty, but
crash is an extremely low probability event. It's hard for us to reproduce
this issue. We attached and detached continuously for a week, with a total
of more than one million attaches and only one crash.

Putting atomic_inc(&amp;state.started) before kthread_run() can avoid waking
up twice.

```

The crash occurred when call wake_up(&amp;state-&gt;wait), and then we want
to look at the value in the state. However, bch_sectors_dirty_init()
is not found in the stack of any task. Since state is allocated on
the stack, we guess that bch_sectors_dirty_init() has exited, causing
bch_dirty_init_thread() to be unable to handle kernel paging request.

In order to verify this idea, we added some printing information during
wake_up(&amp;state-&gt;wait). We find that "wake up" is printed twice, however
we only expect the last thread to wake up once.

```dmesg
[  994.641004] alcache: bch_dirty_init_thread() wake up
[  994.641018] alcache: bch_dirty_init_thread() wake up
[  994.641523] alcache: bch_sectors_dirty_init() init exit
```

There is a race. If bch_sectors_dirty_init() exits after the first wake
up, the second wake up will trigger this bug("unable to handle kernel
paging request").

Proceed as follows:

bch_sectors_dirty_init
    kthread_run ==============&gt; bch_dirty_init_thread(bch_dirtcnt[0])
            ...                         ...
    atomic_inc(&amp;state.started)          ...
            ...                         ...
    atomic_read(&amp;state.enough)          ...
            ...                 atomic_set(&amp;state-&gt;enough, 1)
    kthread_run ======================================================&gt; bch_dirty_init_thread(bch_dirtcnt[1])
            ...                 atomic_dec_and_test(&amp;state-&gt;started)            ...
    atomic_inc(&amp;state.started)          ...                                     ...
            ...                 wake_up(&amp;state-&gt;wait)                           ...
    atomic_read(&amp;state.enough)                                          atomic_dec_and_test(&amp;state-&gt;started)
            ...                                                                 ...
    wait_event(state.wait, atomic_read(&amp;state.started) == 0)                    ...
    return                                                                      ...
                                                                        wake_up(&amp;state-&gt;wait)

We believe it is very common to wake up twice if there is no dirty, but
crash is an extremely low probability event. It's hard for us to reproduce
this issue. We attached and detached continuously for a week, with a total
of more than one million attaches and only one crash.

Putting atomic_inc(&amp;state.started) before kthread_run() can avoid waking
up twice.

We had a problem with io hung because it was waiting for c-&gt;root to
release the lock.

  root = 0xffff802ef454c800

struct rw_semaphore {
  count = {
    counter = -4294967297
  },
  wait_list = {
    next = 0xffff00006786fc28,
    prev = 0xffff00005d0efac8
  },
  wait_lock = {
    raw_lock = {
      {
        val = {
          counter = 0
        },
        {
          locked = 0 '\000',
          pending = 0 '\000'
        },
        {
          locked_pending = 0,

  },
  osq = {
    tail = {
      counter = 0
    }
  },
  owner = 0xffffa03fdc586603
}

The "counter = -4294967297" means that lock count is -1 and a write lock
is being attempted. Then, we found that there is a btree with a counter
of 1 in btree_cache_freeable.

We found that this is a bug in bch_sectors_dirty_init() when locking c-&gt;root:
    (1). Thread X has locked c-&gt;root(A) write.
    (2). Thread Y failed to lock c-&gt;root(A), waiting for the lock(c-&gt;root A).
    (3). Thread X bch_btree_set_root() changes c-&gt;root from A to B.
    (4). Thread X releases the lock(c-&gt;root A).
    (5). Thread Y successfully locks c-&gt;root(A).
    (6). Thread Y releases the lock(c-&gt;root B).

Since c-&gt;root may change, the correct steps to lock c-&gt;root should be
the same as bch_root_usage(), compare after locking.

{
        unsigned int bytes = 0;

We found that after long run, the dirty_data of the bcache device
will have errors. This error cannot be eliminated unless re-register.

We also found that reattach after detach, this error can accumulate.

In bch_sectors_dirty_init(), all inode &lt;= d-&gt;id keys will be recounted
again. This is wrong, we only need to count the keys of the current
device.

Fixes: b144e45fc576 ("bcache: make bch_sectors_dirty_init() to be multithreaded")

<title>bcache: prevent potential division by zero error</title>

In SHOW(), the variable 'n' is of type 'size_t.' While there is a
conditional check to verify that 'n' is not equal to zero before
executing the 'do_div' macro, concerns arise regarding potential
division by zero error in 64-bit environments.

The concern arises when 'n' is 64 bits in size, greater than zero, and
the lower 32 bits of it are zeros. In such cases, the conditional check
passes because 'n' is non-zero, but the 'do_div' macro casts 'n' to
'uint32_t,' effectively truncating it to its lower 32 bits.
Consequently, the 'n' value becomes zero.

To fix this potential division by zero error and ensure precise
division handling, this commit replaces the 'do_div' macro with
div64_u64(). div64_u64() is designed to work with 64-bit operands,
guaranteeing that division is performed correctly.

This change enhances the robustness of the code, ensuring that division
operations yield accurate results in all scenarios, eliminating the
possibility of division by zero, and improving compatibility across
different 64-bit environments.

Variable cur_idx is being initialized with a value that is never read,
it is being re-assigned later in a while-loop. Remove the redundant
assignment. Cleans up clang scan build warning:

drivers/md/bcache/writeback.c:916:2: warning: Value stored to 'cur_idx'
is never read [deadcode.DeadStores]
