[ Upstream commit 4eca1cb28d8b0574ca4f1f48e9331c5f852d43b9 ]
In such scenario that there are some flash only volumes
, and some cached devices, when many tasks request these devices in
writeback mode, the write IOs may fall to the same bucket as bellow:
| cached data | flash data | cached data | cached data| flash data|
then after writeback of these cached devices, the bucket would
be like bellow bucket:
| free | flash data | free | free | flash data |
So, there are many free space in this bucket, but since data of flash
only volumes still exists, so this bucket cannot be reclaimable,
which would cause waste of bucket space.
In this patch, we segregate flash only volume write streams from
cached devices, so data from flash only volumes and cached devices
can store in different buckets.
Compare to v1 patch, this patch do not add a additionally open bucket
list, and it is try best to segregate flash only volume write streams
from cached devices, sectors of flash only volumes may still be mixed
with dirty sectors of cached device, but the number is very small.

commit cf33c1ee5254c6a430bc1538232b49c3ea13e613 upstream.
This patch try to fix the building error on MIPS. The reason is MIPS
has already defined the PTR macro, which conflicts with the PTR macro
in include/uapi/linux/bcache.h.

commit 91af8300d9c1d7c6b6a2fd754109e08d4798b8d8 upstream.
In bcache code, sysfs entries are created before all resources get
allocated, e.g. allocation thread of a cache set.
There is posibility for NULL pointer deference if a resource is accessed
but which is not initialized yet. Indeed Jorg Bornschein catches one on
cache set allocation thread and gets a kernel oops.
The reason for this bug is, when bch_bucket_alloc() is called during
cache set registration and attaching, ca->alloc_thread is not properly
allocated and initialized yet, call wake_up_process() on ca->alloc_thread
triggers NULL pointer deference failure. A simple and fast fix is, before
waking up ca->alloc_thread, checking whether it is allocated, and only
wake up ca->alloc_thread when it is not NULL.

This was originally added as at optimization that for various reasons isn't
needed anymore, but it does add a lot of nasty corner cases (and it was
responsible for some recently fixed bugs). Just get rid of it now.

This changes the bucket allocation reserves to use _real_ reserves - separate
freelists - instead of watermarks, which if nothing else makes the current code
saner to reason about and is going to be important in the future when we add
support for multiple btrees.
It also adds btree_check_reserve(), which checks (and locks) the reserves for
both bucket allocation and memory allocation for btree nodes; the old code just
kinda sorta assumed that since (e.g. for btree node splits) it had the root
locked and that meant no other threads could try to make use of the same
reserve; this technically should have been ok for memory allocation (we should
always have a reserve for memory allocation (the btree node cache is used as a
reserve and we preallocate it)), but multiple btrees will mean that locking the
root won't be sufficient anymore, and for the bucket allocation reserve it was
technically possible for the old code to deadlock.

When deciding what order to reuse buckets we take into account both the bucket's
priority (which indicates lru order) and also the amount of live data in that
bucket. The way they were scaled together wasn't as correct as it could be...
this patch improves and documents it.

We need a reserve for allocating buckets for new btree nodes - and now that
we've got multiple btrees, it really needs to be per btree.
This reworks the reserves so we've got separate freelists for each reserve
instead of watermarks, which seems to make things a bit cleaner, and it adds
some code so that btree_split() can make sure the reserve is available before it
starts.

Removed gc_move_threshold because picking buckets only by
threshold could lead moving extra buckets (ei. if there are
buckets at the threshold that aren't supposed to be moved
do to space considerations).
This is replaced by a GC_MOVE bit in the gc_mark bitmask.
Now only marked buckets get moved.

The bucket refcount (dropped with bkey_put()) is only needed to prevent
the newly allocated bucket from being garbage collected until we've
added a pointer to it somewhere. But for btree node allocations, the
fact that we have btree nodes locked is enough to guard against races
with garbage collection.
Eventually the per bucket refcount is going to be replaced with
something specific to bch_alloc_sectors().

Couple changes:
* Consolidate bch_check_keys() and bch_check_key_order(), and move the
checks that only check_key_order() could do to bch_btree_iter_next().
* Get rid of CONFIG_BCACHE_EDEBUG - now, all that code is compiled in
when CONFIG_BCACHE_DEBUG is enabled, and there's now a sysfs file to
flip on the EDEBUG checks at runtime.
* Dropped an old not terribly useful check in rw_unlock(), and
refactored/improved a some of the other debug code.

We needed a dedicated rescuer workqueue for gc anyways... and gc was
conceptually a dedicated thread, just one that wasn't running all the
time. Switch it to a dedicated thread to make the code a bit more
straightforward.

At one point we did do fancy asynchronous waiting stuff with
bucket_wait, but that's all gone (and bucket_wait is used a lot less
than it used to be). So use the standard primitives.

The old asynchronous discard code was really a relic from when all the
allocation code was asynchronous - now that allocation runs out of a
dedicated thread there's no point in keeping around all that complicated
machinery.

The alloc kthread should've been using try_to_freeze() - and also there
was the potential for the alloc kthread to get woken up after it had

The tracepoints were reworked to be more sensible, and fixed a null
pointer deref in one of the tracepoints.
Converted some of the pr_debug()s to tracepoints - this is partly a
performance optimization; it used to be that with DEBUG or
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG pr_debug() was an empty macro; but at some point it
was changed to an empty inline function.
Some of the pr_debug() statements had rather expensive function calls as
part of the arguments, so this code was getting run unnecessarily even
on non debug kernels - in some fast paths, too.

The main fix is that bch_allocator_thread() wasn't waiting on
garbage collection to finish (if invalidate_buckets had set
ca->invalidate_needs_gc); we need that to make sure the allocator
doesn't spin and potentially block gc from finishing.
