Currently although the bcache code has a framework for multiple caches in a cache set, but indeed the multiple caches never completed and users use md raid1 for multiple copies of the cached data. This patch does the following change in struct cache_set, to explicitly make a cache_set only have single cache, - Change pointer array "*cache[MAX_CACHES_PER_SET]" to a single pointer "*cache". - Remove pointer array "*cache_by_alloc[MAX_CACHES_PER_SET]". - Remove "caches_loaded". Now the code looks as exactly what it does in practic: only one cache is used in the cache set. Signed-off-by: NColy Li <colyli@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NJens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

The parameter 'int n' from bch_bucket_alloc_set() is not cleared defined. From the code comments n is the number of buckets to alloc, but from the code itself 'n' is the maximum cache to iterate. Indeed all the locations where bch_bucket_alloc_set() is called, 'n' is alwasy 1. This patch removes the confused and unnecessary 'int n' from parameter list of bch_bucket_alloc_set(), and explicitly allocates only 1 bucket for its caller.

Similar to c->uuids, struct cache's prio_buckets and disk_buckets also have the potential memory allocation failure during cache registration if the bucket size > 8MB. ca->prio_buckets can be stored on cache device in multiple buckets, its in-memory space is allocated by kzalloc() interface but normally allocated by alloc_pages() because the size > KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE. So allocation of ca->prio_buckets has the MAX_ORDER restriction too. If the bucket size > 8MB, by default the page allocator will fail because the page order > 11 (default MAX_ORDER value). ca->prio_buckets should also use meta_bucket_bytes(), meta_bucket_pages() to decide its memory size and use alloc_meta_bucket_pages() to allocate pages, to avoid the allocation failure during cache set registration when bucket size > 8MB. ca->disk_buckets is a single bucket size memory buffer, it is used to iterate each bucket of ca->prio_buckets, and compose the bio based on memory of ca->disk_buckets, then write ca->disk_buckets memory to cache disk one-by-one for each bucket of ca->prio_buckets. ca->disk_buckets should have in-memory size exact to the meta_bucket_pages(), this is the size that ca->prio_buckets will be stored into each on-disk bucket. This patch fixes the above issues and handle cache's prio_buckets and disk_buckets properly for bucket size larger than 8MB.

Currently the in-memory meta data like c->uuids or c->disk_buckets are allocated by alloc_bucket_pages(). The macro alloc_bucket_pages() calls __get_free_pages() to allocated continuous pages with order indicated by ilog2(bucket_pages(c)), #define alloc_bucket_pages(gfp, c) \ ((void *) __get_free_pages(__GFP_ZERO|gfp, ilog2(bucket_pages(c)))) The maximum order is defined as MAX_ORDER, the default value is 11 (and can be overwritten by CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER). In bcache code the maximum bucket size width is 16bits, this is restricted both by KEY_SIZE size and bucket_size size from struct cache_sb_disk. The maximum 16bits width and power-of-2 value is (1<<15) in unit of sector (512byte). It means the maximum value of bucket size in bytes is (1<<24) bytes a.k.a 4096 pages. When the bucket size is set to maximum permitted value, ilog2(4096) is 12, which exceeds the default maximum order __get_free_pages() can accepted, the failed pages allocation will fail cache set registration procedure and print a kernel oops message for the exceeded pages order. This patch introduces meta_bucket_pages(), meta_bucket_bytes(), and alloc_bucket_pages() helper routines. meta_bucket_pages() indicates the maximum pages can be allocated to meta data bucket, meta_bucket_bytes() indicates the according maximum bytes, and alloc_bucket_pages() does the pages allocation for meta bucket. Because meta_bucket_pages() chooses the smaller value among the bucket size and MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES, it still works when MAX_ORDER overwritten by CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER. Following patches will use these helper routines to decide maximum pages can be allocated for different meta data buckets. If the bucket size is larger than meta_bucket_bytes(), the bcache registration can continue to success, just the space more than meta_bucket_bytes() inside the bucket is wasted. Comparing bcache failed for large bucket size, wasting some space for meta data buckets is acceptable at this moment.

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->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->nr_stripes is limited in range [1, INT_MAX]. Therefore all valid stripe numbers in bcache are in range [0, bcache_dev->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->nr_stripes. If the calculated stripe number from do_div() is equal to or larger than bcache_device->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->nr_stripes and offset_to_stripe() are referenced also get updated for the above type change.

In year 2007 high performance SSD was still expensive, in order to save more space for real workload or meta data, the readahead I/Os for non-meta data was bypassed and not cached on SSD. In now days, SSD price drops a lot and people can find larger size SSD with more comfortable price. It is unncessary to alway bypass normal readahead I/Os to save SSD space for now. This patch adds options for readahead data cache policies via sysfs file /sys/block/bcache<N>/readahead_cache_policy, the options are, - "all": cache all readahead data I/Os. - "meta-only": only cache meta data, and bypass other regular I/Os. If users want to make bcache continue to only cache readahead request for metadata and bypass regular data readahead, please set "meta-only" to this sysfs file. By default, bcache will back to cache all read- ahead requests now.

The problem happens that after process A executes cmpxchg and will execute prepare_to_wait.

The option gc_after_writeback is disabled by default, because garbage collection will discard SSD data which drops cached data. Echo 1 into /sys/fs/bcache/<UUID>/internal/gc_after_writeback will enable this option, which wakes up gc thread when writeback accomplished and all cached data is clean. This option is helpful for people who cares writing performance more. In heavy writing workload, all cached data can be clean only happens when writeback thread cleans all cached data in I/O idle time. In such situation a following gc running may help to shrink bcache B+ tree and discard more clean data, which may be helpful for future writing requests.

We have the following define for btree iterator: struct btree_iter { size_t size, used; #ifdef CONFIG_BCACHE_DEBUG struct btree_keys *b; #endif struct btree_iter_set { struct bkey *k, *end; } data[MAX_BSETS]; }; We can see that the length of data[] field is static MAX_BSETS, which is defined as 4 currently. But a btree node on disk could have too many bsets for an iterator to fit on the stack - maybe far more that MAX_BSETS. Have to dynamically allocate space to host more btree_iter_sets. bch_cache_set_alloc() will make sure the pool cache_set->fill_iter can allocate an iterator equipped with enough room that can host (sb.bucket_size / sb.block_size) btree_iter_sets, which is more than static MAX_BSETS. bch_btree_node_read_done() will use that pool to allocate one iterator, to host many bsets in one btree node.

Commit b1092c9a ("bcache: allow quick writeback when backing idle") allows the writeback rate to be faster if there is no I/O request on a bcache device. It works well if there is only one bcache device attached to the cache set. If there are many bcache devices attached to a cache set, it may introduce performance regression because multiple faster writeback threads of the idle bcache devices will compete the btree level locks with the bcache device who have I/O requests coming. This patch fixes the above issue by only permitting fast writebac when all bcache devices attached on the cache set are idle. And if one of the bcache devices has new I/O request coming, minimized all writeback throughput immediately and let PI controller __update_writeback_rate() to decide the upcoming writeback rate for each bcache device. Also when all bcache devices are idle, limited wrieback rate to a small number is wast of thoughput, especially when backing devices are slower non-rotation devices (e.g. SATA SSD). This patch sets a max writeback rate for each backing device if the whole cache set is idle. A faster writeback rate in idle time means new I/Os may have more available space for dirty data, and people may observe a better write performance then. Please note bcache may change its cache mode in run time, and this patch still works if the cache mode is switched from writeback mode and there is still dirty data on cache.

In GC thread, we record the latest GC key in gc_done, which is expected to be used for incremental GC, but in currently code, we didn't realize it. When GC runs, front side IO would be blocked until the GC over, it would be a long time if there is a lot of btree nodes. This patch realizes incremental GC, the main ideal is that, when there are front side I/Os, after GC some nodes (100), we stop GC, release locker of the btree node, and go to process the front side I/Os for some times (100 ms), then go back to GC again. By this patch, when we doing GC, I/Os are not blocked all the time, and there is no obvious I/Os zero jump problem any more. Patch v2: Rename some variables and macros name as Coly suggested.

Currently bcache does not handle backing device failure, if backing device is offline and disconnected from system, its bcache device can still be accessible. If the bcache device is in writeback mode, I/O requests even can success if the requests hit on cache device. That is to say, when and how bcache handles offline backing device is undefined. This patch tries to handle backing device offline in a rather simple way, - Add cached_dev->status_update_thread kernel thread to update backing device status in every 1 second. - Add cached_dev->offline_seconds to record how many seconds the backing device is observed to be offline. If the backing device is offline for BACKING_DEV_OFFLINE_TIMEOUT (30) seconds, set dc->io_disable to 1 and call bcache_device_stop() to stop the bache device which linked to the offline backing device. Now if a backing device is offline for BACKING_DEV_OFFLINE_TIMEOUT seconds, its bcache device will be removed, then user space application writing on it will get error immediately, and handler the device failure in time. This patch is quite simple, does not handle more complicated situations. Once the bcache device is stopped, users need to recovery the backing device, register and attach it manually.

Current code uses bdevname() or bio_devname() to reference gendisk disk name when bcache needs to display the disk names in kernel message. It was safe before bcache device failure handling patch set merged in, because when devices are failed, there was deadlock to prevent bcache printing error messages with gendisk disk name. But after the failure handling patch set merged, the deadlock is fixed, so it is possible that the gendisk structure bdev->hd_disk is released when bdevname() is called to reference bdev->bd_disk->disk_name[]. This is why I receive bug report of NULL pointers deference panic. This patch stores gendisk disk name in a buffer inside struct cache and struct cached_dev, then print out the offline device name won't reference bdev->hd_disk anymore. And this patch also avoids extra function calls of bdevname() and bio_devnmae(). Changelog: v3, add Reviewed-by from Hannes. v2, call bdevname() earlier in register_bdev() v1, first version with segguestion from Junhui Tang.

If a bcache device is configured to writeback mode, current code does not handle write I/O errors on backing devices properly. In writeback mode, write request is written to cache device, and latter being flushed to backing device. If I/O failed when writing from cache device to the backing device, bcache code just ignores the error and upper layer code is NOT noticed that the backing device is broken. This patch tries to handle backing device failure like how the cache device failure is handled, - Add a error counter 'io_errors' and error limit 'error_limit' in struct cached_dev. Add another io_disable to struct cached_dev to disable I/Os on the problematic backing device. - When I/O error happens on backing device, increase io_errors counter. And if io_errors reaches error_limit, set cache_dev->io_disable to true, and stop the bcache device. The result is, if backing device is broken of disconnected, and I/O errors reach its error limit, backing device will be disabled and the associated bcache device will be removed from system. Changelog: v2: remove "bcache: " prefix in pr_error(), and use correct name string to print out bcache device gendisk name. v1: indeed this is new added in v2 patch set.

When there are too many I/O errors on cache device, current bcache code will retire the whole cache set, and detach all bcache devices. But the detached bcache devices are not stopped, which is problematic when bcache is in writeback mode. If the retired cache set has dirty data of backing devices, continue writing to bcache device will write to backing device directly. If the LBA of write request has a dirty version cached on cache device, next time when the cache device is re-registered and backing device re-attached to it again, the stale dirty data on cache device will be written to backing device, and overwrite latest directly written data. This situation causes a quite data corruption. But we cannot simply stop all attached bcache devices when the cache set is broken or disconnected. For example, use bcache to accelerate performance of an email service. In such workload, if cache device is broken but no dirty data lost, keep the bcache device alive and permit email service continue to access user data might be a better solution for the cache device failure. Nix <nix@esperi.org.uk> points out the issue and provides the above example to explain why it might be necessary to not stop bcache device for broken cache device. Pavel Goran <via-bcache@pvgoran.name> provides a brilliant suggestion to provide "always" and "auto" options to per-cached device sysfs file stop_when_cache_set_failed. If cache set is retiring and the backing device has no dirty data on cache, it should be safe to keep the bcache device alive. In this case, if stop_when_cache_set_failed is set to "auto", the device failure handling code will not stop this bcache device and permit application to access the backing device with a unattached bcache device. Changelog: [mlyle: edited to not break string constants across lines] v3: fix typos pointed out by Nix. v2: change option values of stop_when_cache_set_failed from 1/0 to "auto"/"always". v1: initial version, stop_when_cache_set_failed can be 0 (not stop) or 1 (always stop).

When too many I/Os failed on cache device, bch_cache_set_error() is called in the error handling code path to retire whole problematic cache set. If new I/O requests continue to come and take refcount dc->count, the cache set won't be retired immediately, this is a problem. Further more, there are several kernel thread and self-armed kernel work may still running after bch_cache_set_error() is called. It needs to wait quite a while for them to stop, or they won't stop at all. They also prevent the cache set from being retired. The solution in this patch is, to add per cache set flag to disable I/O request on this cache and all attached backing devices. Then new coming I/O requests can be rejected in *_make_request() before taking refcount, kernel threads and self-armed kernel worker can stop very fast when flags bit CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE is set. Because bcache also do internal I/Os for writeback, garbage collection, bucket allocation, journaling, this kind of I/O should be disabled after bch_cache_set_error() is called. So closure_bio_submit() is modified to check whether CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE is set on cache_set->flags. If set, closure_bio_submit() will set bio->bi_status to BLK_STS_IOERR and return, generic_make_request() won't be called. A sysfs interface is also added to set or clear CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE bit from cache_set->flags, to disable or enable cache set I/O for debugging. It is helpful to trigger more corner case issues for failed cache device. Changelog v4, add wait_for_kthread_stop(), and call it before exits writeback and gc kernel threads. v3, change CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE from 4 to 3, since it is bit index. remove "bcache: " prefix when printing out kernel message. v2, more changes by previous review, - Use CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE of cache_set->flags, suggested by Junhui. - Check CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE in bch_btree_gc() to stop a while-loop, this is reported and inspired from origal patch of Pavel Vazharov. v1, initial version.

struct delayed_work writeback_rate_update in struct cache_dev is a delayed worker to call function update_writeback_rate() in period (the interval is defined by dc->writeback_rate_update_seconds). When a metadate I/O error happens on cache device, bcache error handling routine bch_cache_set_error() will call bch_cache_set_unregister() to retire whole cache set. On the unregister code path, this delayed work is stopped by calling cancel_delayed_work_sync(&dc->writeback_rate_update). dc->writeback_rate_update is a special delayed work from others in bcache. In its routine update_writeback_rate(), this delayed work is re-armed itself. That means when cancel_delayed_work_sync() returns, this delayed work can still be executed after several seconds defined by dc->writeback_rate_update_seconds. The problem is, after cancel_delayed_work_sync() returns, the cache set unregister code path will continue and release memory of struct cache set. Then the delayed work is scheduled to run, __update_writeback_rate() will reference the already released cache_set memory, and trigger a NULL pointer deference fault. This patch introduces two more bcache device flags, - BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING bit set: bcache device is in writeback mode and running, it is OK for dc->writeback_rate_update to re-arm itself. bit clear:bcache device is trying to stop dc->writeback_rate_update, this delayed work should not re-arm itself and quit. - BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING bit set: routine update_writeback_rate() is executing. bit clear: routine update_writeback_rate() quits. This patch also adds a function cancel_writeback_rate_update_dwork() to wait for dc->writeback_rate_update quits before cancel it by calling cancel_delayed_work_sync(). In order to avoid a deadlock by unexpected quit dc->writeback_rate_update, after time_out seconds this function will give up and continue to call cancel_delayed_work_sync(). And here I explain how this patch stops self re-armed delayed work properly with the above stuffs. update_writeback_rate() sets BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING at its beginning and clears BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING at its end. Before calling cancel_writeback_rate_update_dwork() clear flag BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING. Before calling cancel_delayed_work_sync() wait utill flag BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING is clear. So when calling cancel_delayed_work_sync(), dc->writeback_rate_update must be already re- armed, or quite by seeing BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING cleared. In both cases delayed work routine update_writeback_rate() won't be executed after cancel_delayed_work_sync() returns. Inside update_writeback_rate() before calling schedule_delayed_work(), flag BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING is checked before. If this flag is cleared, it means someone is about to stop the delayed work. Because flag BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING is set already and cancel_delayed_work_sync() has to wait for this flag to be cleared, we don't need to worry about race condition here. If update_writeback_rate() is scheduled to run after checking BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING and before calling cancel_delayed_work_sync() in cancel_writeback_rate_update_dwork(), it is also safe. Because at this moment BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING is cleared with memory barrier. As I mentioned previously, update_writeback_rate() will see BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING is clear and quit immediately. Because there are more dependences inside update_writeback_rate() to struct cache_set memory, dc->writeback_rate_update is not a simple self re-arm delayed work. After trying many different methods (e.g. hold dc->count, or use locks), this is the only way I can find which works to properly stop dc->writeback_rate_update delayed work.

back-end device sdm has already attached a cache_set with ID f67ebe1f-f8bc-4d73-bfe5-9dc88607f119, then try to attach with another cache set, and it returns with an error: [root]# cd /sys/block/sdm/bcache [root]# echo 5ccd0a63-148e-48b8-afa2-aca9cbd6279f > attach -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument After that, execute a command to modify the label of bcache device: [root]# echo data_disk1 > label Then we reboot the system, when the system power on, the back-end device can not attach to cache_set, a messages show in the log: Feb 5 12:05:52 ceph152 kernel: [922385.508498] bcache: bch_cached_dev_attach() couldn't find uuid for sdm in set In sysfs_attach(), dc->sb.set_uuid was assigned to the value which input through sysfs, no matter whether it is success or not in bch_cached_dev_attach(). For example, If the back-end device has already attached to an cache set, bch_cached_dev_attach() would fail, but dc->sb.set_uuid was changed. Then modify the label of bcache device, it will call bch_write_bdev_super(), which would write the dc->sb.set_uuid to the super block, so we record a wrong cache set ID in the super block, after the system reboot, the cache set couldn't find the uuid of the back-end device, so the bcache device couldn't exist and use any more. In this patch, we don't assigned cache set ID to dc->sb.set_uuid in sysfs_attach() directly, but input it into bch_cached_dev_attach(), and assigned dc->sb.set_uuid to the cache set ID after the back-end device attached to the cache set successful.
