Commit b1092c9af9 ("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.

I attached several backend devices in the same cache set, and produced lots
of dirty data by running small rand I/O writes in a long time, then I
continue run I/O in the others cached devices, and stopped a cached device,
after a mean while, I register the stopped device again, I see the running
I/O in the others cached devices dropped significantly, sometimes even
jumps to zero.
In currently code, bcache would traverse each keys and btree node to count
the dirty data under read locker, and the writes threads can not get the
btree write locker, and when there is a lot of keys and btree node in the
registering device, it would last several seconds, so the write I/Os in
others cached device are blocked and declined significantly.
In this patch, when a device registering to a ache set, which exist others
cached devices with running I/Os, we get the amount of dirty data of the
device in an incremental way, and do not block other cached devices all the
time.

Commit c7b7bd0740 ("bcache: add io_disable to struct cached_dev")
counts backing device I/O requets and set dc->io_disable to true if error
counters exceeds dc->io_error_limit. But it only counts I/O errors for
regular I/O request, neglects errors of write back I/Os when backing device
is offline.
This patch counts the errors of writeback I/Os, in dirty_endio() if
bio->bi_status is not 0, it means error happens when writing dirty keys
to backing device, then bch_count_backing_io_errors() is called.
By this fix, even there is no reqular I/O request coming, if writeback I/O
errors exceed dc->io_error_limit, the bcache device may still be stopped
for the broken backing device.

In order to catch I/O error of backing device, a separate bi_end_io
call back is required. Then a per backing device counter can record I/O
errors number and retire the backing device if the counter reaches a
per backing device I/O error limit.
This patch adds backing_request_endio() to bcache backing device I/O code
path, this is a preparation for further complicated backing device failure
handling. So far there is no real code logic change, I make this change a

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 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.
Changelog:
v3: change values of BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING and BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING
to bit index, for test_bit().
v2: Try to fix the race issue which is pointed out by Junhui.

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.

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.

dc->writeback_rate_update_seconds can be set via sysfs and its value can
be set to [1, ULONG_MAX]. It does not make sense to set such a large
value, 60 seconds is long enough value considering the default 5 seconds
works well for long time.
Because dc->writeback_rate_update is a special delayed work, it re-arms
itself inside the delayed work routine update_writeback_rate(). When
stopping it by cancel_delayed_work_sync(), there should be a timeout to
wait and make sure the re-armed delayed work is stopped too. A small max
value of dc->writeback_rate_update_seconds is also helpful to decide a
reasonable small timeout.
This patch limits sysfs interface to set dc->writeback_rate_update_seconds

1, Task state is set to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE after the condition checks, if
another process changes the condition and call wake_up_process(dc->

TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, the writeback kernel thread will lose a chance to be

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.

Bcache needs to scale the dirty data in the cache over the multiple
backing disks in order to calculate writeback rates for each.
The previous code did this by multiplying the target number of dirty
sectors by the backing device size, and expected it to fit into a
uint64_t; this blows up on relatively small backing devices.
The new approach figures out the bdev's share in 16384ths of the overall
cached data. This is chosen to cope well when bdevs drastically vary in
size and to ensure that bcache can cross the petabyte boundary for each
backing device.
This has been improved based on Tang Junhui's feedback to ensure that
every device gets a share of dirty data, no matter how small it is
compared to the total backing pool.
The existing mechanism is very limited; this is purely a bug fix to
remove limits on volume size. However, there still needs to be change
to make this "fair" over many volumes where some are idle.

Bcache only does recoverable I/O for read operations by calling
cached_dev_read_error(). For write opertions there is no I/O recovery for
failed requests.
But in bch_count_io_errors() no matter read or write I/Os, before errors
counter reaches io error limit, pr_err() always prints "IO error on %,
recoverying". For write requests this information is misleading, because
there is no I/O recovery at all.
This patch adds a parameter 'is_read' to bch_count_io_errors(), and only
prints "recovering" by pr_err() when the bio direction is READ.

However-- there was no guarantee with the existing code that the writes
would be issued in LBA order, as the reads from the cache device are
often re-ordered. In turn, when writing back quickly, the backing disk
often has to seek backwards-- this slows writeback and increases
utilization.
This patch introduces an ordering mechanism that guarantees that the
original order of issue is maintained for the write portion of the I/O.
Performance for writeback is significantly improved when there are
multiple contiguous keys or high writeback rates.

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.

The previous code artificially limited writeback rate to 1000000
blocks/second (NSEC_PER_MSEC), which is a rate that can be met on fast
hardware. The rate limiting code works fine (though with decreased
precision) up to 3 orders of magnitude faster, so use NSEC_PER_SEC.
Additionally, ensure that uint32_t is used as a type for rate throughout
the rate management so that type checking/clamp_t can work properly.

handling of high rates and long sleep periods, but this is adequate for

This works in conjunction with the new PI controller. Currently, in
real-world workloads, the rate controller attempts to write back 1
sector per second. In practice, these minimum-rate writebacks are
between 4k and 60k in test scenarios, since bcache aggregates and
attempts to do contiguous writes and because filesystems on top of
bcachefs typically write 4k or more.
Previously, bcache used to guarantee to write at least once per second.
This means that the actual writeback rate would exceed the configured
amount by a factor of 8-120 or more.
This patch adjusts to be willing to sleep up to 2.5 seconds, and to
target writing 4k/second. On the smallest writes, it will sleep 1
second like before, but many times it will sleep longer and load the
backing device less. This keeps the loading on the cache and backing
device related to writeback more consistent when writing back at low
rates.

bcache uses a control system to attempt to keep the amount of dirty data
in cache at a user-configured level, while not responding excessively to
transients and variations in write rate. Previously, the system was a
PD controller; but the output from it was integrated, turning the
Proportional term into an Integral term, and turning the Derivative term
into a crude Proportional term. Performance of the controller has been
uneven in production, and it has tended to respond slowly, oscillate,
and overshoot.
This patch set replaces the current control system with an explicit PI
controller and tuning that should be correct for most hardware. By
default, it attempts to write at a rate that would retire 1/40th of the
current excess blocks per second. An integral term in turn works to
remove steady state errors.
IMO, this yields benefits in simplicity (removing weighted average
filtering, etc) and system performance.
Another small change is a tunable parameter is introduced to allow the
user to specify a minimum rate at which dirty blocks are retired.
There is a slight difference from earlier versions of the patch in
integral handling to prevent excessive negative integral windup.

bcache uses a Proportion-Differentiation Controller algorithm to control
writeback rate to cached devices. In the PD controller algorithm, dirty
stripes of thin flash device should not be counted in, because flash only
volumes never write back dirty data.
Currently dirty stripe counter for thin flash device is not initialized
when the thin flash device starts. Which means the following calculation
in PD controller will reference an undefined dirty stripes number, and
all cached devices attached to the same cache set where the thin flash
device lies on may have an inaccurate writeback rate.
This patch calles bch_sectors_dirty_init() in flash_dev_run(), to
correctly initialize dirty stripe counter when the thin flash device
starts to run. This patch also does following parameter data type change,
-void bch_sectors_dirty_init(struct cached_dev *dc);
+void bch_sectors_dirty_init(struct bcache_device *);
to call this function conveniently in flash_dev_run().

__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().

This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).
For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device. But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.
Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.
