License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

bcache: correct cache_dirty_target in __update_writeback_rate() __update_write_rate() uses a Proportion-Differentiation Controller algorithm to control writeback rate. A dirty target number is used in this PD controller to control writeback rate. A larger target number will make the writeback rate smaller, on the versus, a smaller target number will make the writeback rate larger. bcache uses the following steps to calculate the target number, 1) cache_sectors = all-buckets-of-cache-set * buckets-size 2) cache_dirty_target = cache_sectors * cached-device-writeback_percent 3) target = cache_dirty_target * (sectors-of-cached-device/sectors-of-all-cached-devices-of-this-cache-set) The calculation at step 1) for cache_sectors is incorrect, which does not consider dirty blocks occupied by flash only volume. A flash only volume can be took as a bcache device without cached device. All data sectors allocated for it are persistent on cache device and marked dirty, they are not touched by bcache writeback and garbage collection code. So data blocks of flash only volume should be ignore when calculating cache_sectors of cache set. Current code does not subtract dirty sectors of flash only volume, which results a larger target number from the above 3 steps. And in sequence the cache device's writeback rate is smaller then a correct value, writeback speed is slower on all cached devices. This patch fixes the incorrect slower writeback rate by subtracting dirty sectors of flash only volumes in __update_writeback_rate().

bcache: set max writeback rate when I/O request is idle Commit b1092c9af9ed ("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.

bcache: add CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE to struct cache_set flags 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.

struct cache_set *c = dc->disk.c;
bcache: stop dc->writeback_rate_update properly 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.

bcache: stop dc->writeback_rate_update properly 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.

bcache: set max writeback rate when I/O request is idle Commit b1092c9af9ed ("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.

bcache: add CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE to struct cache_set flags 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.

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.

bcache: properly set task state in bch_writeback_thread() Kernel thread routine bch_writeback_thread() has the following code block, 447 down_write(&dc->writeback_lock); 448~450 if (check conditions) { 451 up_write(&dc->writeback_lock); 452 set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE); 453 454 if (kthread_should_stop()) 455 return 0; 456 457 schedule(); 458 continue; 459 } If condition check is true, its task state is set to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and call schedule() to wait for others to wake up it. There are 2 issues in current code, 1, Task state is set to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE after the condition checks, if another process changes the condition and call wake_up_process(dc-> writeback_thread), then at line 452 task state is set back to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, the writeback kernel thread will lose a chance to be waken up. 2, At line 454 if kthread_should_stop() is true, writeback kernel thread will return to kernel/kthread.c:kthread() with TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and call do_exit(). It is not good to enter do_exit() with task state TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, in following code path might_sleep() is called and a warning message is reported by __might_sleep(): "WARNING: do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING; state=1 set at [xxxx]". For the first issue, task state should be set before condition checks. Ineed because dc->writeback_lock is required when modifying all the conditions, calling set_current_state() inside code block where dc-> writeback_lock is hold is safe. But this is quite implicit, so I still move set_current_state() before all the condition checks. For the second issue, frankley speaking it does not hurt when kernel thread exits with TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state, but this warning message scares users, makes them feel there might be something risky with bcache and hurt their data. Setting task state to TASK_RUNNING before returning fixes this problem. In alloc.c:allocator_wait(), there is also a similar issue, and is also fixed in this patch. Changelog: v3: merge two similar fixes into one patch v2: fix the race issue in v1 patch. v1: initial buggy fix.

bcache: quit dc->writeback_thread when BCACHE_DEV_DETACHING is set In patch "bcache: fix cached_dev->count usage for bch_cache_set_error()", cached_dev_get() is called when creating dc->writeback_thread, and cached_dev_put() is called when exiting dc->writeback_thread. This modification works well unless people detach the bcache device manually by 'echo 1 > /sys/block/bcache<N>/bcache/detach' Because this sysfs interface only calls bch_cached_dev_detach() which wakes up dc->writeback_thread but does not stop it. The reason is, before patch "bcache: fix cached_dev->count usage for bch_cache_set_error()", inside bch_writeback_thread(), if cache is not dirty after writeback, cached_dev_put() will be called here. And in cached_dev_make_request() when a new write request makes cache from clean to dirty, cached_dev_get() will be called there. Since we don't operate dc->count in these locations, refcount d->count cannot be dropped after cache becomes clean, and cached_dev_detach_finish() won't be called to detach bcache device. This patch fixes the issue by checking whether BCACHE_DEV_DETACHING is set inside bch_writeback_thread(). If this bit is set and cache is clean (no existing writeback_keys), break the while-loop, call cached_dev_put() and quit the writeback thread. Please note if cache is still dirty, even BCACHE_DEV_DETACHING is set the writeback thread should continue to perform writeback, this is the original design of manually detach. It is safe to do the following check without locking, let me explain why, + if (!test_bit(BCACHE_DEV_DETACHING, &dc->disk.flags) && + (!atomic_read(&dc->has_dirty) || !dc->writeback_running)) { If the kenrel thread does not sleep and continue to run due to conditions are not updated in time on the running CPU core, it just consumes more CPU cycles and has no hurt. This should-sleep-but-run is safe here. We just focus on the should-run-but-sleep condition, which means the writeback thread goes to sleep in mistake while it should continue to run. 1, First of all, no matter the writeback thread is hung or not, kthread_stop() from cached_dev_detach_finish() will wake up it and terminate by making kthread_should_stop() return true. And in normal run time, bit on index BCACHE_DEV_DETACHING is always cleared, the condition !test_bit(BCACHE_DEV_DETACHING, &dc->disk.flags) is always true and can be ignored as constant value. 2, If one of the following conditions is true, the writeback thread should go to sleep, "!atomic_read(&dc->has_dirty)" or "!dc->writeback_running)" each of them independently controls the writeback thread should sleep or not, let's analyse them one by one. 2.1 condition "!atomic_read(&dc->has_dirty)" If dc->has_dirty is set from 0 to 1 on another CPU core, bcache will call bch_writeback_queue() immediately or call bch_writeback_add() which indirectly calls bch_writeback_queue() too. In bch_writeback_queue(), wake_up_process(dc->writeback_thread) is called. It sets writeback thread's task state to TASK_RUNNING and following an implicit memory barrier, then tries to wake up the writeback thread. In writeback thread, its task state is set to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE before doing the condition check. If other CPU core sets the TASK_RUNNING state after writeback thread setting TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, the writeback thread will be scheduled to run very soon because its state is not TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. If other CPU core sets the TASK_RUNNING state before writeback thread setting TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, the implict memory barrier of wake_up_process() will make sure modification of dc->has_dirty on other CPU core is updated and observed on the CPU core of writeback thread. Therefore the condition check will correctly be false, and continue writeback code without sleeping. 2.2 condition "!dc->writeback_running)" dc->writeback_running can be changed via sysfs file, every time it is modified, a following bch_writeback_queue() is alwasy called. So the change is always observed on the CPU core of writeback thread. If dc->writeback_running is changed from 0 to 1 on other CPU core, this condition check will observe the modification and allow writeback thread to continue to run without sleeping. Now we can see, even without a locking protection, multiple conditions check is safe here, no deadlock or process hang up will happen. I compose a separte patch because that patch "bcache: fix cached_dev->count usage for bch_cache_set_error()" already gets a "Reviewed-by:" from Hannes Reinecke. Also this fix is not trivial and good for a separate patch.

bcache: add CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE to struct cache_set flags 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.

bcache: fix cached_dev->count usage for bch_cache_set_error() When bcache metadata I/O fails, bcache will call bch_cache_set_error() to retire the whole cache set. The expected behavior to retire a cache set is to unregister the cache set, and unregister all backing device attached to this cache set, then remove sysfs entries of the cache set and all attached backing devices, finally release memory of structs cache_set, cache, cached_dev and bcache_device. In my testing when journal I/O failure triggered by disconnected cache device, sometimes the cache set cannot be retired, and its sysfs entry /sys/fs/bcache/<uuid> still exits and the backing device also references it. This is not expected behavior. When metadata I/O failes, the call senquence to retire whole cache set is, bch_cache_set_error() bch_cache_set_unregister() bch_cache_set_stop() __cache_set_unregister() <- called as callback by calling clousre_queue(&c->caching) cache_set_flush() <- called as a callback when refcount of cache_set->caching is 0 cache_set_free() <- called as a callback when refcount of catch_set->cl is 0 bch_cache_set_release() <- called as a callback when refcount of catch_set->kobj is 0 I find if kernel thread bch_writeback_thread() quits while-loop when kthread_should_stop() is true and searched_full_index is false, clousre callback cache_set_flush() set by continue_at() will never be called. The result is, bcache fails to retire whole cache set. cache_set_flush() will be called when refcount of closure c->caching is 0, and in function bcache_device_detach() refcount of closure c->caching is released to 0 by clousre_put(). In metadata error code path, function bcache_device_detach() is called by cached_dev_detach_finish(). This is a callback routine being called when cached_dev->count is 0. This refcount is decreased by cached_dev_put(). The above dependence indicates, cache_set_flush() will be called when refcount of cache_set->cl is 0, and refcount of cache_set->cl to be 0 when refcount of cache_dev->count is 0. The reason why sometimes cache_dev->count is not 0 (when metadata I/O fails and bch_cache_set_error() called) is, in bch_writeback_thread(), refcount of cache_dev is not decreased properly. In bch_writeback_thread(), cached_dev_put() is called only when searched_full_index is true and cached_dev->writeback_keys is empty, a.k.a there is no dirty data on cache. In most of run time it is correct, but when bch_writeback_thread() quits the while-loop while cache is still dirty, current code forget to call cached_dev_put() before this kernel thread exits. This is why sometimes cache_set_flush() is not executed and cache set fails to be retired. The reason to call cached_dev_put() in bch_writeback_rate() is, when the cache device changes from clean to dirty, cached_dev_get() is called, to make sure during writeback operatiions both backing and cache devices won't be released. Adding following code in bch_writeback_thread() does not work, static int bch_writeback_thread(void *arg) } + if (atomic_read(&dc->has_dirty)) + cached_dev_put() + return 0; } because writeback kernel thread can be waken up and start via sysfs entry: echo 1 > /sys/block/bcache<N>/bcache/writeback_running It is difficult to check whether backing device is dirty without race and extra lock. So the above modification will introduce potential refcount underflow in some conditions. The correct fix is, to take cached dev refcount when creating the kernel thread, and put it before the kernel thread exits. Then bcache does not need to take a cached dev refcount when cache turns from clean to dirty, or to put a cached dev refcount when cache turns from ditry to clean. The writeback kernel thread is alwasy safe to reference data structure from cache set, cache and cached device (because a refcount of cache device is taken for it already), and no matter the kernel thread is stopped by I/O errors or system reboot, cached_dev->count can always be used correctly. The patch is simple, but understanding how it works is quite complicated. Changelog: v2: set dc->writeback_thread to NULL in this patch, as suggested by Hannes. v1: initial version for review.

Also this fix is not trivial and good for a separate patch.

bcache: add CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE to struct cache_set flags 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.

And in turn cached_dev_flush() calls cached_dev_free() via closure_at() 3) In cached_dev_free(), after stopped writebach kthread dc->writeback_thread, the kwork dc->writeback_write_wq is stopping by destroy_workqueue(). 4) Inside destroy_workqueue(), drain_workqueue() is called. Inside drain_workqueue(), flush_workqueue() is called. Then wq->lockdep_map is acquired by lock_map_acquire() in flush_workqueue(). After the lock acquired the rest part of flush_workqueue() just wait for the workqueue to complete. 5) Now we look back at writeback thread routine bch_writeback_thread(), in the main while-loop, write_dirty() is called via continue_at() in read_dirty_submit(), which is called via continue_at() in while-loop level called function read_dirty(). Inside write_dirty() it may be re-called on workqueeu dc->writeback_write_wq via continue_at(). It means when the writeback kthread is stopped in cached_dev_free() there might be still one kworker queued on dc->writeback_write_wq to execute write_dirty() again. 6) Now this kworker is scheduled on dc->writeback_write_wq to run by process_one_work() (which is called by worker_thread()). Before calling the kwork routine, wq->lockdep_map is acquired. 7) But wq->lockdep_map is acquired already in step 4), so a A-A lock (lockdep terminology) scenario happens. Indeed on multiple cores syatem, the above deadlock is very rare to happen, just as the code comments in process_one_work() says, 2263 * AFAICT there is no possible deadlock scenario between the 2264 * flush_work() and complete() primitives (except for single-threaded 2265 * workqueues), so hiding them isn't a problem. But it is still good to fix such lockdep warning, even no one running bcache on single core system. The fix is simple. This patch solves the above potential deadlock by, - Do not destroy workqueue dc->writeback_write_wq in cached_dev_free(). - Flush and destroy dc->writeback_write_wq in writebach kthread routine bch_writeback_thread(), where after quit the thread main while-loop and before cached_dev_put() is called. By this fix, dc->writeback_write_wq will be stopped and destroy before the writeback kthread stopped, so the chance for a A-A locking on wq->lockdep_map is disappeared, such A-A deadlock won't happen any more.

bcache: fix cached_dev->count usage for bch_cache_set_error() When bcache metadata I/O fails, bcache will call bch_cache_set_error() to retire the whole cache set. The expected behavior to retire a cache set is to unregister the cache set, and unregister all backing device attached to this cache set, then remove sysfs entries of the cache set and all attached backing devices, finally release memory of structs cache_set, cache, cached_dev and bcache_device. In my testing when journal I/O failure triggered by disconnected cache device, sometimes the cache set cannot be retired, and its sysfs entry /sys/fs/bcache/<uuid> still exits and the backing device also references it. This is not expected behavior. When metadata I/O failes, the call senquence to retire whole cache set is, bch_cache_set_error() bch_cache_set_unregister() bch_cache_set_stop() __cache_set_unregister() <- called as callback by calling clousre_queue(&c->caching) cache_set_flush() <- called as a callback when refcount of cache_set->caching is 0 cache_set_free() <- called as a callback when refcount of catch_set->cl is 0 bch_cache_set_release() <- called as a callback when refcount of catch_set->kobj is 0 I find if kernel thread bch_writeback_thread() quits while-loop when kthread_should_stop() is true and searched_full_index is false, clousre callback cache_set_flush() set by continue_at() will never be called. The result is, bcache fails to retire whole cache set. cache_set_flush() will be called when refcount of closure c->caching is 0, and in function bcache_device_detach() refcount of closure c->caching is released to 0 by clousre_put(). In metadata error code path, function bcache_device_detach() is called by cached_dev_detach_finish(). This is a callback routine being called when cached_dev->count is 0. This refcount is decreased by cached_dev_put(). The above dependence indicates, cache_set_flush() will be called when refcount of cache_set->cl is 0, and refcount of cache_set->cl to be 0 when refcount of cache_dev->count is 0. The reason why sometimes cache_dev->count is not 0 (when metadata I/O fails and bch_cache_set_error() called) is, in bch_writeback_thread(), refcount of cache_dev is not decreased properly. In bch_writeback_thread(), cached_dev_put() is called only when searched_full_index is true and cached_dev->writeback_keys is empty, a.k.a there is no dirty data on cache. In most of run time it is correct, but when bch_writeback_thread() quits the while-loop while cache is still dirty, current code forget to call cached_dev_put() before this kernel thread exits. This is why sometimes cache_set_flush() is not executed and cache set fails to be retired. The reason to call cached_dev_put() in bch_writeback_rate() is, when the cache device changes from clean to dirty, cached_dev_get() is called, to make sure during writeback operatiions both backing and cache devices won't be released. Adding following code in bch_writeback_thread() does not work, static int bch_writeback_thread(void *arg) } + if (atomic_read(&dc->has_dirty)) + cached_dev_put() + return 0; } because writeback kernel thread can be waken up and start via sysfs entry: echo 1 > /sys/block/bcache<N>/bcache/writeback_running It is difficult to check whether backing device is dirty without race and extra lock. So the above modification will introduce potential refcount underflow in some conditions. The correct fix is, to take cached dev refcount when creating the kernel thread, and put it before the kernel thread exits. Then bcache does not need to take a cached dev refcount when cache turns from clean to dirty, or to put a cached dev refcount when cache turns from ditry to clean. The writeback kernel thread is alwasy safe to reference data structure from cache set, cache and cached device (because a refcount of cache device is taken for it already), and no matter the kernel thread is stopped by I/O errors or system reboot, cached_dev->count can always be used correctly. The patch is simple, but understanding how it works is quite complicated. Changelog: v2: set dc->writeback_thread to NULL in this patch, as suggested by Hannes. v1: initial version for review.

bcache: set max writeback rate when I/O request is idle Commit b1092c9af9ed ("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.

bcache: stop dc->writeback_rate_update properly 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.

bcache: fix cached_dev->count usage for bch_cache_set_error() When bcache metadata I/O fails, bcache will call bch_cache_set_error() to retire the whole cache set. The expected behavior to retire a cache set is to unregister the cache set, and unregister all backing device attached to this cache set, then remove sysfs entries of the cache set and all attached backing devices, finally release memory of structs cache_set, cache, cached_dev and bcache_device. In my testing when journal I/O failure triggered by disconnected cache device, sometimes the cache set cannot be retired, and its sysfs entry /sys/fs/bcache/<uuid> still exits and the backing device also references it. This is not expected behavior. When metadata I/O failes, the call senquence to retire whole cache set is, bch_cache_set_error() bch_cache_set_unregister() bch_cache_set_stop() __cache_set_unregister() <- called as callback by calling clousre_queue(&c->caching) cache_set_flush() <- called as a callback when refcount of cache_set->caching is 0 cache_set_free() <- called as a callback when refcount of catch_set->cl is 0 bch_cache_set_release() <- called as a callback when refcount of catch_set->kobj is 0 I find if kernel thread bch_writeback_thread() quits while-loop when kthread_should_stop() is true and searched_full_index is false, clousre callback cache_set_flush() set by continue_at() will never be called. The result is, bcache fails to retire whole cache set. cache_set_flush() will be called when refcount of closure c->caching is 0, and in function bcache_device_detach() refcount of closure c->caching is released to 0 by clousre_put(). In metadata error code path, function bcache_device_detach() is called by cached_dev_detach_finish(). This is a callback routine being called when cached_dev->count is 0. This refcount is decreased by cached_dev_put(). The above dependence indicates, cache_set_flush() will be called when refcount of cache_set->cl is 0, and refcount of cache_set->cl to be 0 when refcount of cache_dev->count is 0. The reason why sometimes cache_dev->count is not 0 (when metadata I/O fails and bch_cache_set_error() called) is, in bch_writeback_thread(), refcount of cache_dev is not decreased properly. In bch_writeback_thread(), cached_dev_put() is called only when searched_full_index is true and cached_dev->writeback_keys is empty, a.k.a there is no dirty data on cache. In most of run time it is correct, but when bch_writeback_thread() quits the while-loop while cache is still dirty, current code forget to call cached_dev_put() before this kernel thread exits. This is why sometimes cache_set_flush() is not executed and cache set fails to be retired. The reason to call cached_dev_put() in bch_writeback_rate() is, when the cache device changes from clean to dirty, cached_dev_get() is called, to make sure during writeback operatiions both backing and cache devices won't be released. Adding following code in bch_writeback_thread() does not work, static int bch_writeback_thread(void *arg) } + if (atomic_read(&dc->has_dirty)) + cached_dev_put() + return 0; } because writeback kernel thread can be waken up and start via sysfs entry: echo 1 > /sys/block/bcache<N>/bcache/writeback_running It is difficult to check whether backing device is dirty without race and extra lock. So the above modification will introduce potential refcount underflow in some conditions. The correct fix is, to take cached dev refcount when creating the kernel thread, and put it before the kernel thread exits. Then bcache does not need to take a cached dev refcount when cache turns from clean to dirty, or to put a cached dev refcount when cache turns from ditry to clean. The writeback kernel thread is alwasy safe to reference data structure from cache set, cache and cached device (because a refcount of cache device is taken for it already), and no matter the kernel thread is stopped by I/O errors or system reboot, cached_dev->count can always be used correctly.
