In order to avoid the experimental async registration interface to
be treated as new kernel ABI for common users, this patch makes it
as an experimental kernel configure BCACHE_ASYNC_REGISTRAION.
This interface is for extreme large cached data situation, to make sure
the bcache device can always created without the udev timeout issue. For
normal users the async or sync registration does not make difference.
In future when we decide to use the asynchronous registration as default
behavior, this experimental interface may be removed.

When there is a lot of data cached on cache device, the bcach internal
btree can take a very long to validate during the backing device and
cache device registration. In my test, it may takes 55+ minutes to check
all the internal btree nodes.
The problem is that the registration is invoked by udev rules and the
udevd has 180 seconds timeout by default. If the btree node checking
time is longer than udevd timeout, the registering process will be
killed by udevd with SIGKILL. If the registering process has pending
sigal, creating kthread for bcache will fail and the device registration
will fail. The result is, for bcache device which cached a lot of data
on cache device, the bcache device node like /dev/bcache<N> won't create
always due to the very long btree checking time.
A solution to avoid the udevd 180 seconds timeout is to register devices
in an asynchronous way. Which is, after writing cache or backing device
path into /sys/fs/bcache/register_async, the kernel code will create a
kworker and move all the btree node checking (for cache device) or dirty
data counting (for cached device) in the kwork context. Then the kworder
is scheduled on system_wq and the registration code just returned to
user space udev rule task. By this asynchronous way, the udev task for
bcache rule will complete in seconds, no matter how long time spent in
the kworker context, it won't be killed by udevd for a timeout.
After all the checking and counting are done asynchronously in the
kworker, the bcache device will eventually be created successfully.
This patch does the above chagne and add a register sysfs file
/sys/fs/bcache/register_async. Writing the registering device path into
this sysfs file will do the asynchronous registration.
The register_async interface is for very rare condition and won't be
used for common users. In future I plan to make the asynchronous
registration as default behavior, which depends on feedback for this
patch.

The problematic code piece in bcache_device_free() is,
785 static void bcache_device_free(struct bcache_device *d)
786 {
787 struct gendisk *disk = d->disk;
[snipped]
799 if (disk) {
800 if (disk->flags & GENHD_FL_UP)
801 del_gendisk(disk);

805
806 ida_simple_remove(&bcache_device_idx,
807 first_minor_to_idx(disk->first_minor));
808 put_disk(disk);
809 }
[snipped]
816 }
At line 808, put_disk(disk) may encounter kobject refcount of 'disk'
being underflow.
Here is how to reproduce the issue,
- Attche the backing device to a cache device and do random write to
make the cache being dirty.
- Stop the bcache device while the cache device has dirty data of the
backing device.
- Only register the backing device back, NOT register cache device.
- The bcache device node /dev/bcache0 won't show up, because backing
device waits for the cache device shows up for the missing dirty
data.
- Now echo 1 into /sys/fs/bcache/pendings_cleanup, to stop the pending
backing device.
- After the pending backing device stopped, use 'dmesg' to check kernel
message, a use-after-free warning from KASA reported the refcount of
kobject linked to the 'disk' is underflow.
The dropping refcount at line 808 in the above code piece is added by
add_disk(d->disk) in bch_cached_dev_run(). But in the above condition
the cache device is not registered, bch_cached_dev_run() has no chance
to be called and the refcount is not added. The put_disk() for a non-
added refcount of gendisk kobject triggers a underflow warning.
This patch checks whether GENHD_FL_UP is set in disk->flags, if it is
not set then the bcache device was not added, don't call put_disk()
and the the underflow issue can be avoided.

for bcache to optimize barrier usage for read-modify-write atomic

where smp_mb() is used before or after an atomic operation.
This patch replaces smp_mb() with smp_mb__before_atomic() or
smp_mb__after_atomic() in btree.c and writeback.c, where it is used
to synchronize memory cache just earlier on other cores. Although
the locations are not on hot code path, it is always not bad to mkae

When attaching a cached device (a.k.a backing device) to a cache
device, bch_sectors_dirty_init() is called to count dirty sectors
and stripes (see what bcache_dev_sectors_dirty_add() does) on the
cache device.
The counting is done by a single thread recursive function
bch_btree_map_keys() to iterate all the bcache btree nodes.
If the btree has huge number of nodes, bch_sectors_dirty_init() will
take quite long time. In my testing, if the registering cache set has
a existed UUID which matches a already registered cached device, the
automatical attachment during the registration may take more than
55 minutes. This is too long for waiting the bcache to work in real
deployment.
Fortunately when bch_sectors_dirty_init() is called, no other thread
will access the btree yet, it is safe to do a read-only parallelized
dirty sectors counting by multiple threads.
This patch tries to create multiple threads, and each thread tries to
one-by-one count dirty sectors from the sub-tree indexed by a root
node key which the thread fetched. After the sub-tree is counted, the
counting thread will continue to fetch another root node key, until
the fetched key is NULL. How many threads in parallel depends on
the number of keys from the btree root node, and the number of online
CPU core. The thread number will be the less number but no more than
BCH_DIRTY_INIT_THRD_MAX. If there are only 2 keys in root node, it
can only be 2x times faster by this patch. But if there are 10 keys
in the root node, with this patch it can be 10x times faster.

When registering a cache device, bch_btree_check() is called to check
all btree nodes, to make sure the btree is consistent and not
corrupted.
bch_btree_check() is recursively executed in a single thread, when there
are a lot of data cached and the btree is huge, it may take very long
time to check all the btree nodes. In my testing, I observed it took
around 50 minutes to finish bch_btree_check().
When checking the bcache btree nodes, the cache set is not running yet,
and indeed the whole tree is in read-only state, it is safe to create
multiple threads to check the btree in parallel.
This patch tries to create multiple threads, and each thread tries to
one-by-one check the sub-tree indexed by a key from the btree root node.
The parallel thread number depends on how many keys in the btree root
node. At most BCH_BTR_CHKTHREAD_MAX (64) threads can be created, but in
practice is should be min(cpu-number/2, root-node-keys-number).

In my testing, sometimes even all the cached btree nodes are freed,
creating gc and allocator kernel threads may still fail. Finally it
turns out that kthread_run() may fail if there is pending signal for
current task. And the pending signal is sent from OOM killer which
is triggered by memory consuption in bch_btree_check().
Therefore explicitly shrinking bcache btree node here does not help,
and after the shrinker callback is improved, as well as pending signals
are ignored before creating kernel threads, now such operation is
unncessary anymore.

When run a cache set, all the bcache btree node of this cache set will
be checked by bch_btree_check(). If the bcache btree is very large,
iterating all the btree nodes will occupy too much system memory and
the bcache registering process might be selected and killed by system
OOM killer. kthread_run() will fail if current process has pending
signal, therefore the kthread creating in run_cache_set() for gc and
allocator kernel threads are very probably failed for a very large
bcache btree.
Indeed such OOM is safe and the registering process will exit after
the registration done. Therefore this patch flushes pending signals
during the cache set start up, specificly in bch_cache_allocator_start()
and bch_gc_thread_start(), to make sure run_cache_set() won't fail for
large cahced data set.

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-

bset_bkey_last() is also used in macro csum_set() to calculate the

calculate checksum of on-disk bcache super block, the parameter 'i'
data type is struct cache_sb_disk. Inside struct cache_sb_disk (also in

be shunk. In such case, if slub/slab manager calls bch_mca_scan()
for many times with small scan number, it does not help to shrink
cache memory and just wasts CPU cycles.
This patch just selects btree node caches from tail of the

The member 'accessed' of struct btree is used in bch_mca_scan() when
shrinking btree node caches. The original idea is, if b->accessed is
set, clean it and look at next btree node cache from c->btree_cache
list, and only shrink the caches whose b->accessed is cleaned. Then
only cold btree node cache will be shrunk.
But when I/O pressure is high, it is very probably that b->accessed
of a btree node cache will be set again in bch_btree_node_get()
before bch_mca_scan() selects it again. Then there is no chance for
bch_mca_scan() to shrink enough memory back to slub or slab system.
This patch removes member accessed from struct btree, then once a
btree node ache is selected, it will be immediately shunk. By this
change, bch_mca_scan() may release btree node cahce more efficiently.

the commit 91be66e131 ("bcache: performance improvement for
btree_flush_write()") was an effort to flushing btree node with oldest
btree node faster in following methods,
- Only iterate dirty btree nodes in c->btree_cache, avoid scanning a lot
of clean btree nodes.
- Take c->btree_cache as a LRU-like list, aggressively flushing all
dirty nodes from tail of c->btree_cache util the btree node with
oldest journal entry is flushed. This is to reduce the time of holding
c->bucket_lock.
Guoju Fang and Shuang Li reported that they observe unexptected extra
write I/Os on cache device after applying the above patch. Guoju Fang
provideed more detailed diagnose information that the aggressive
btree nodes flushing may cause 10x more btree nodes to flush in his
workload. He points out when system memory is large enough to hold all
btree nodes in memory, c->btree_cache is not a LRU-like list any more.
Then the btree node with oldest journal entry is very probably not-
close to the tail of c->btree_cache list. In such situation much more
dirty btree nodes will be aggressively flushed before the target node
is flushed. When slow SATA SSD is used as cache device, such over-
aggressive flushing behavior will cause performance regression.
After spending a lot of time on debug and diagnose, I find the real
condition is more complicated, aggressive flushing dirty btree nodes
from tail of c->btree_cache list is not a good solution.
- When all btree nodes are cached in memory, c->btree_cache is not
a LRU-like list, the btree nodes with oldest journal entry won't
be close to the tail of the list.
- There can be hundreds dirty btree nodes reference the oldest journal
entry, before flushing all the nodes the oldest journal entry cannot
be reclaimed.
When the above two conditions mixed together, a simply flushing from
tail of c->btree_cache list is really NOT a good idea.
Fortunately there is still chance to make btree_flush_write() work
better. Here is how this patch avoids unnecessary btree nodes flushing,
- Only acquire c->journal.lock when getting oldest journal entry of
fifo c->journal.pin. In rested locations check the journal entries
locklessly, so their values can be changed on other cores
in parallel.
- In loop list_for_each_entry_safe_reverse(), checking latest front
point of fifo c->journal.pin. If it is different from the original
point which we get with locking c->journal.lock, it means the oldest
journal entry is reclaim on other cores. At this moment, all selected
dirty nodes recorded in array btree_nodes[] are all flushed and clean
on other CPU cores, it is unncessary to iterate c->btree_cache any
longer. Just quit the list_for_each_entry_safe_reverse() loop and
the following for-loop will skip all the selected clean nodes.
- Find a proper time to quit the list_for_each_entry_safe_reverse()
loop. Check the refcount value of orignial fifo front point, if the
value is larger than selected node number of btree_nodes[], it means
more matching btree nodes should be scanned. Otherwise it means no
more matching btee nodes in rest of c->btree_cache list, the loop
can be quit. If the original oldest journal entry is reclaimed and
fifo front point is updated, the refcount of original fifo front point
will be 0, then the loop will be quit too.
- Not hold c->bucket_lock too long time. c->bucket_lock is also required
for space allocation for cached data, hold it for too long time will
block regular I/O requests. When iterating list c->btree_cache, even
there are a lot of maching btree nodes, in order to not holding
c->bucket_lock for too long time, only BTREE_FLUSH_NR nodes are
selected and to flush in following for-loop.
With this patch, only btree nodes referencing oldest journal entry
are flushed to cache device, no aggressive flushing for unnecessary
btree node any more. And in order to avoid blocking regluar I/O
requests, each time when btree_flush_write() called, at most only
BTREE_FLUSH_NR btree nodes are selected to flush, even there are more
maching btree nodes in list c->btree_cache.
At last, one more thing to explain: Why it is safe to read front point
of c->journal.pin without holding c->journal.lock inside the
list_for_each_entry_safe_reverse() loop ?
Here is my answer: When reading the front point of fifo c->journal.pin,
we don't need to know the exact value of front point, we just want to
check whether the value is different from the original front point
(which is accurate value because we get it while c->jouranl.lock is
held). For such purpose, it works as expected without holding
c->journal.lock. Even the front point is changed on other CPU core and
not updated to local core, and current iterating btree node has
identical journal entry local as original fetched fifo front point, it
is still safe. Because after holding mutex b->write_lock (with memory
barrier) this btree node can be found as clean and skipped, the loop
will quite latter when iterate on next node of list c->btree_cache.

The patch "bcache: rework error unwinding in register_bcache" introduces
a use-after-free regression in register_bcache(). Here are current code,
2510 out_free_path:
2511 kfree(path);
2512 out_module_put:
2513 module_put(THIS_MODULE);
2514 out:
2515 pr_info("error %s: %s", path, err);
2516 return ret;
If some error happens and the above code path is executed, at line 2511
path is released, but referenced at line 2515. Then KASAN reports a use-
after-free error message.
This patch changes line 2515 in the following way to fix the problem,
2515 pr_info("error %s: %s", path?path:"", err);

Patch "bcache: rework error unwinding in register_bcache" from
Christoph Hellwig changes the local variables 'path' and 'err'
in undefined initial state. If the code in register_bcache() jumps
to label 'out:' or 'out_module_put:' by goto, these two variables
might be reference with undefined value by the following line,
out_module_put:
module_put(THIS_MODULE);
out:
pr_info("error %s: %s", path, err);
return ret;
Therefore this patch initializes these two local variables properly
in register_bcache() to avoid such issue.

In bch_mca_scan(), the number of shrinking btree node is calculated
by code like this,
unsigned long nr = sc->nr_to_scan;
nr /= c->btree_pages;
nr = min_t(unsigned long, nr, mca_can_free(c));
variable sc->nr_to_scan is number of objects (here is bcache B+tree
nodes' number) to shrink, and pointer variable sc is sent from memory
management code as parametr of a callback.
If sc->nr_to_scan is smaller than c->btree_pages, after the above
calculation, variable 'nr' will be 0 and nothing will be shrunk. It is
frequeently observed that only 1 or 2 is set to sc->nr_to_scan and make
nr to be zero. Then bch_mca_scan() will do nothing more then acquiring
and releasing mutex c->bucket_lock.
This patch checkes whether nr is 0 after the above calculation, if 0
is the result then set 1 to variable 'n'. Then at least bch_mca_scan()
will try to shrink a single B+tree node.

Fifo structure journal.pin is implemented by a cycle buffer, if the back
index reaches highest location of the cycle buffer, it will be swapped
to 0. Once the swapping happens, it means a smaller fifo index might be
associated to a newer journal entry. So the btree node with oldest
journal entry won't be selected in bch_btree_leaf_dirty() to reference
the dirty B+tree leaf node. This problem may cause bcache journal won't
protect unflushed oldest B+tree dirty leaf node in power failure, and
this B+tree leaf node is possible to beinconsistent after reboot from
power failure.
This patch fixes the fifo index comparing logic in journal_pin_cmp(),
to avoid potential corrupted B+tree leaf node when the back index of
journal pin is swapped.

The race was when a thread using closure_sync() notices cl->s->done == 1
before the thread calling closure_put() calls wake_up_process(). Then,
it's possible for that thread to return and exit just before
wake_up_process() is called - so we're trying to wake up a process that
no longer exists.
rcu_read_lock() is sufficient to protect against this, as there's an rcu

This patch improves performance for btree_flush_write() in following
ways,
- Use another spinlock journal.flush_write_lock to replace the very
hot journal.lock. We don't have to use journal.lock here, selecting
candidate btree nodes takes a lot of time, hold journal.lock here will
block other jouranling threads and drop the overall I/O performance.
- Only select flushing btree node from c->btree_cache list. When the
machine has a large system memory, mca cache may have a huge number of
cached btree nodes. Iterating all the cached nodes will take a lot
of CPU time, and most of the nodes on c->btree_cache_freeable and
c->btree_cache_freed lists are cleared and have need to flush. So only
travel mca list c->btree_cache to select flushing btree node should be
enough for most of the cases.
- Don't iterate whole c->btree_cache list, only reversely select first
BTREE_FLUSH_NR btree nodes to flush. Iterate all btree nodes from
c->btree_cache and select the oldest journal pin btree nodes consumes
huge number of CPU cycles if the list is huge (push and pop a node
into/out of a heap is expensive). The last several dirty btree nodes
on the tail of c->btree_cache list are earlest allocated and cached
btree nodes, they are relative to the oldest journal pin btree nodes.
Therefore only flushing BTREE_FLUSH_NR btree nodes from tail of
c->btree_cache probably includes the oldest journal pin btree nodes.
In my testing, the above change decreases 50%+ CPU consumption when
journal space is full. Some times IOPS drops to 0 for 5-8 seconds,
comparing blocking I/O for 120+ seconds in previous code, this is much
better. Maybe there is room to improve in future, but at this momment
the fix looks fine and performs well in my testing.

There is a race between mca_reap(), btree_node_free() and journal code
btree_flush_write(), which results very rare and strange deadlock or
panic and are very hard to reproduce.
Let me explain how the race happens. In btree_flush_write() one btree
node with oldest journal pin is selected, then it is flushed to cache
device, the select-and-flush is a two steps operation. Between these two
steps, there are something may happen inside the race window,
- The selected btree node was reaped by mca_reap() and allocated to
other requesters for other btree node.
- The slected btree node was selected, flushed and released by mca
shrink callback bch_mca_scan().
When btree_flush_write() tries to flush the selected btree node, firstly
b->write_lock is held by mutex_lock(). If the race happens and the
memory of selected btree node is allocated to other btree node, if that
btree node's write_lock is held already, a deadlock very probably
happens here. A worse case is the memory of the selected btree node is
released, then all references to this btree node (e.g. b->write_lock)
will trigger NULL pointer deference panic.
This race was introduced in commit cafe563591 ("bcache: A block layer
cache"), and enlarged by commit c4dc2497d5 ("bcache: fix high CPU
occupancy during journal"), which selected 128 btree nodes and flushed
them one-by-one in a quite long time period.
Such race is not easy to reproduce before. On a Lenovo SR650 server with
48 Xeon cores, and configure 1 NVMe SSD as cache device, a MD raid0
device assembled by 3 NVMe SSDs as backing device, this race can be
observed around every 10,000 times btree_flush_write() gets called. Both
deadlock and kernel panic all happened as aftermath of the race.
The idea of the fix is to add a btree flag BTREE_NODE_journal_flush. It
is set when selecting btree nodes, and cleared after btree nodes
flushed. Then when mca_reap() selects a btree node with this bit set,
this btree node will be skipped. Since mca_reap() only reaps btree node
without BTREE_NODE_journal_flush flag, such race is avoided.
Once corner case should be noticed, that is btree_node_free(). It might
be called in some error handling code path. For example the following
code piece from btree_split(),
2149 err_free2:
2150 bkey_put(b->c, &n2->key);
2151 btree_node_free(n2);
2152 rw_unlock(true, n2);
2153 err_free1:
2154 bkey_put(b->c, &n1->key);
2155 btree_node_free(n1);
2156 rw_unlock(true, n1);
At line 2151 and 2155, the btree node n2 and n1 are released without
mac_reap(), so BTREE_NODE_journal_flush also needs to be checked here.
If btree_node_free() is called directly in such error handling path,
and the selected btree node has BTREE_NODE_journal_flush bit set, just
delay for 1 us and retry again. In this case this btree node won't
be skipped, just retry until the BTREE_NODE_journal_flush bit cleared,
and free the btree node memory.

bit is cleared, then it is unnecessary to clear the bit again.
This patch only clears BTREE_NODE_dirty when btree_node_dirty(b) is
true (the bit is set), to save a few CPU cycles.

This reverts commit c4dc2497d5.
This patch enlarges a race between normal btree flush code path and
flush_btree_write(), which causes deadlock when journal space is
exhausted. Reverts this patch makes the race window from 128 btree
nodes to only 1 btree nodes.

When cache set starts, bch_btree_check() will check all bkeys on cache
device by calculating the checksum. This operation will consume a huge
number of system memory if there are a lot of data cached. Since bcache
uses its own mca cache to maintain all its read-in btree nodes, and only
releases the cache space when system memory manage code starts to shrink
caches. Then before memory manager code to call the mca cache shrinker
callback, bcache mca cache will compete memory resource with user space
application, which may have nagive effect to performance of user space
workloads (e.g. data base, or I/O service of distributed storage node).
This patch tries to call bcache mca shrinker routine to proactively
release mca cache memory, to decrease the memory pressure of system and
avoid negative effort of the overall system I/O performance.

In journal_read_bucket() when setting ja->seq[bucket_index], there might
be potential case that a later non-maximum overwrites a better sequence
number to ja->seq[bucket_index]. This patch adds a check to make sure
that ja->seq[bucket_index] will be only set a new value if it is bigger
then current value.

[ 101.691318][ T401] bcache: bcache_device_free() bcache0 stopped
Here is how the above potential deadlock may happen in reboot/shutdown
code path,
1) bcache_reboot() is called firstly in the reboot/shutdown code path,
then in bcache_reboot(), bcache_device_stop() is called.
2) bcache_device_stop() sets BCACHE_DEV_CLOSING on d->falgs, then call
closure_queue(&d->cl) to invoke cached_dev_flush(). 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.

Here is how the deadlock happens.
1) bcache_reboot() calls bcache_device_stop(), then inside
bcache_device_stop() BCACHE_DEV_CLOSING bit is set on d->flags.
Then closure_queue(&d->cl) is called to invoke cached_dev_flush().
2) In cached_dev_flush(), cached_dev_free() is called by continu_at().
3) In cached_dev_free(), when stopping the writeback kthread of the
cached device by kthread_stop(), dc->writeback_thread will be waken
up to quite the kthread while-loop, then cached_dev_put() is called
in bch_writeback_thread().
4) Calling cached_dev_put() in writeback kthread may drop dc->count to
0, then dc->detach kworker is scheduled, which is initialized as
cached_dev_detach_finish().
5) Inside cached_dev_detach_finish(), the last line of code is to call
closure_put(&dc->disk.cl), which drops the last reference counter of
closrure dc->disk.cl, then the callback cached_dev_flush() gets
called.
Now cached_dev_flush() is called for second time in the code path, the
first time is in step 2). And again bch_register_lock will be acquired
again, and a A-A lock (lockdep terminology) is happening.
The root cause of the above A-A lock is in cached_dev_free(), mutex
bch_register_lock is held before stopping writeback kthread and other
kworkers. Fortunately now we have variable 'bcache_is_reboot', which may
prevent device registration or unregistration during reboot/shutdown
time, so it is unncessary to hold bch_register_lock such early now.
This is how this patch fixes the reboot/shutdown time A-A lock issue:
After moving mutex_lock(&bch_register_lock) to a later location where
before atomic_read(&dc->running) in cached_dev_free(), such A-A lock
problem can be solved without any reboot time registration race.

Now there is variable bcache_is_reboot to prevent device register or
unregister during reboot, it is unncessary to still hold mutex lock
bch_register_lock before stopping writeback_rate_update kworker and
writeback kthread. And if the stopping kworker or kthread holding
bch_register_lock inside their routine (we used to have such problem
in writeback thread, thanks to Junhui Wang fixed it), it is very easy
to introduce deadlock during reboot/shutdown procedure.
Therefore in this patch, the location to acquire bch_register_lock is
moved to the location before calling calc_cached_dev_sectors(). Which
is later then original location in cached_dev_detach_finish().

It is quite frequently to observe deadlock in bcache_reboot() happens
and hang the system reboot process. The reason is, in bcache_reboot()
when calling bch_cache_set_stop() and bcache_device_stop() the mutex
bch_register_lock is held. But in the process to stop cache set and
bcache device, bch_register_lock will be acquired again. If this mutex
is held here, deadlock will happen inside the stopping process. The
aftermath of the deadlock is, whole system reboot gets hung.
The fix is to avoid holding bch_register_lock for the following loops
in bcache_reboot(),
list_for_each_entry_safe(c, tc, &bch_cache_sets, list)
bch_cache_set_stop(c);
list_for_each_entry_safe(dc, tdc, &uncached_devices, list)
bcache_device_stop(&dc->disk);
A module range variable 'bcache_is_reboot' is added, it sets to true
in bcache_reboot(). In register_bcache(), if bcache_is_reboot is checked
to be true, reject the registration by returning -EBUSY immediately.

When md raid device (e.g. raid456) is used as backing device, read-ahead
requests on a degrading and recovering md raid device might be failured
immediately by md raid code, but indeed this md raid array can still be
read or write for normal I/O requests. Therefore such failed read-ahead
request are not real hardware failure. Further more, after degrading and
recovering accomplished, read-ahead requests will be handled by md raid
array again.
For such condition, I/O failures of read-ahead requests don't indicate
real health status (because normal I/O still be served), they should not
be counted into I/O error counter dc->io_errors.
Since there is no simple way to detect whether the backing divice is a
md raid device, this patch simply ignores I/O failures for read-ahead
bios on backing device, to avoid bogus backing device failure on a
degrading md raid array.

return ret;
which assumes ret will be 0 here. This assumption is wrong when all

such cache the last location referencess read_bucket() sets 'ret' to

'journal' in caller run_cache_set().
Return 1 to run_cache_set() means something wrong and the cache set
won't start, but indeed everything is OK.

When gc is running, user space I/O processes may wait inside
bcache code, so no new I/O coming. Indeed this is not a real idle
time, maximum writeback rate should not be set in such situation.
Otherwise a faster writeback thread may compete locks with gc thread
and makes garbage collection slower, which results a longer I/O
freeze period.
This patch checks c->gc_mark_valid in set_at_max_writeback_rate(). If
c->gc_mark_valid is 0 (gc running), set_at_max_writeback_rate() returns
false, then update_writeback_rate() will not set writeback rate to
maximum value even c->idle_counter reaches an idle threshold.

When people set a writeback percent via sysfs file,
/sys/block/bcache<N>/bcache/writeback_percent
current code directly sets BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING to dc->disk.flags
and schedules kworker dc->writeback_rate_update.
If there is no cache set attached to, the writeback kernel thread is
not running indeed, running dc->writeback_rate_update does not make
sense and may cause NULL pointer deference when reference cache set
pointer inside update_writeback_rate().
This patch checks whether the cache set point (dc->disk.c) is NULL in
sysfs interface handler, and only set BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING and
schedule dc->writeback_rate_update when dc->disk.c is not NULL (it
means the cache device is attached to a cache set).
This problem might be introduced from initial bcache commit, but
commit 3fd47bfe55 ("bcache: stop dc->writeback_rate_update properly")

Recently people report bcache code compiled with gcc9 is broken, one of
the buggy behavior I observe is that two adjacent 4KB I/Os should merge
into one but they don't. Finally it turns out to be a stack corruption
caused by macro PRECEDING_KEY().
See how PRECEDING_KEY() is defined in bset.h,
437 #define PRECEDING_KEY(_k) \
438 ({ \
439 struct bkey *_ret = NULL; \
440 \
441 if (KEY_INODE(_k) || KEY_OFFSET(_k)) { \
442 _ret = &KEY(KEY_INODE(_k), KEY_OFFSET(_k), 0); \
443 \
444 if (!_ret->low) \
445 _ret->high--; \
446 _ret->low--; \
447 } \
448 \
449 _ret; \
450 })
At line 442, _ret points to address of a on-stack variable combined by
KEY(), the life range of this on-stack variable is in line 442-446,
once _ret is returned to bch_btree_insert_key(), the returned address
points to an invalid stack address and this address is overwritten in
the following called bch_btree_iter_init(). Then argument 'search' of
bch_btree_iter_init() points to some address inside stackframe of
bch_btree_iter_init(), exact address depends on how the compiler
allocates stack space. Now the stack is corrupted.

caching
The reason is in journal_reclaim(), when discard is enabled, we send
discard command and reclaim those journal buckets whose seq is old
than the last_seq_now, but before we write a journal with last_seq_now,
the machine is restarted, so the journal with the last_seq_now is not
written to the journal bucket, and the last_seq_wrote in the newest
journal is old than last_seq_now which we expect to be, so when we doing
replay, journals from last_seq_wrote to last_seq_now are missing.
It's hard to write a journal immediately after journal_reclaim(),
and it harmless if those missed journal are caused by discarding
since those journals are already wrote to btree node. So, if miss
seqs are started from the beginning journal, we treat it as normal,
and only print a message to show the miss journal, and point out
it maybe caused by discarding.
Patch v2 add a judgement condition to ignore the missed journal
only when discard enabled as Coly suggested.

will set KEY_PTRS field of c->journal.key to 0.
Setting KEY_PTRS field of c->journal.key to 0 is wrong. Because in
journal_write_unlocked() the journal data is written in following loop,
649 for (i = 0; i < KEY_PTRS(k); i++) {
650-671 submit journal data to cache device
672 }
If KEY_PTRS field is set to 0 in jouranl_reclaim(), the journal data
won't be written to cache device here. If system crahed or rebooted
before bkeys of the lost journal entries written into btree nodes, data
corruption will be reported during bcache reload after rebooting the
system.
Indeed there is only one cache in a cache set, there is no need to set
KEY_PTRS field in journal_reclaim() at all. But in order to keep the
for_each_cache() logic consistent for now, this patch fixes the above
problem by not setting 0 KEY_PTRS of journal key, if there is no bucket
available to reclaim.

There are a few nits in this function. They could in theory all
be separate patches, but that's probably taking small commits
too far.
1) I added a brief comment saying what it does.
2) I like to declare pointer parameters "const" where possible
for documentation reasons.
3) It uses bitmap_weight(&rand, BITS_PER_LONG) to compute the Hamming
weight of a 32-bit random number (giving a random integer with
mean 16 and variance 8). Passing by reference in a 64-bit variable
is silly; just use hweight32().
4) Its helper function fract_exp_two is unnecessarily tangled.
Gcc can optimize the multiply by (1 << x) to a shift, but it can
be written in a much more straightforward way at the cost of one
more bit of internal precision. Some analysis reveals that this
bit is always available.
This shrinks the object code for fract_exp_two(x, 6) from 23 bytes:
0000000000000000 <foo1>:
0: 89 f9 mov %edi,%ecx
2: c1 e9 06 shr $0x6,%ecx
5: b8 01 00 00 00 mov $0x1,%eax
a: d3 e0 shl %cl,%eax
c: 83 e7 3f and $0x3f,%edi
f: d3 e7 shl %cl,%edi
11: c1 ef 06 shr $0x6,%edi
14: 01 f8 add %edi,%eax
16: c3 retq
To 19:
0000000000000017 <foo2>:
17: 89 f8 mov %edi,%eax
19: 83 e0 3f and $0x3f,%eax
1c: 83 c0 40 add $0x40,%eax
1f: 89 f9 mov %edi,%ecx
21: c1 e9 06 shr $0x6,%ecx
24: d3 e0 shl %cl,%eax
26: c1 e8 06 shr $0x6,%eax
29: c3 retq
(Verified with 0 <= frac_bits <= 8, 0 <= x < 16<<frac_bits;
both versions produce the same output.)
5) And finally, the call to bch_get_congested() in check_should_bypass()
is separated from the use of the value by multiple tests which
could moot the need to compute it. Move the computation down to
where it's needed. This also saves a local register to hold the
computed value.

The bio from upper layer is considered completed when bio_complete()
returns. In most scenarios bio_complete() is called in search_free(),
but when read miss happens, the bio_compete() is called when backing
device reading completed, while the struct search is still in use until
cache inserting finished.
If someone stops the bcache device just then, the device may be closed

access a freed struct cached_dev.

In 'commit 752f66a75a ("bcache: use REQ_PRIO to indicate bio for
metadata")' REQ_META is replaced by REQ_PRIO to indicate metadata bio.
This assumption is not always correct, e.g. XFS uses REQ_META to mark
metadata bio other than REQ_PRIO. This is why Nix noticed that bcache
does not cache metadata for XFS after the above commit.
Thanks to Dave Chinner, he explains the difference between REQ_META and
REQ_PRIO from view of file system developer. Here I quote part of his
explanation from mailing list,
REQ_META is used for metadata. REQ_PRIO is used to communicate to
the lower layers that the submitter considers this IO to be more
important that non REQ_PRIO IO and so dispatch should be expedited.
IOWs, if the filesystem considers metadata IO to be more important
that user data IO, then it will use REQ_PRIO | REQ_META rather than
just REQ_META.
Then it seems bios with REQ_META or REQ_PRIO should both be cached for
performance optimation, because they are all probably low I/O latency
demand by upper layer (e.g. file system).
So in this patch, when we want to decide whether to bypass the cache,
REQ_META and REQ_PRIO are both checked. Then both metadata and
high priority I/O requests will be handled properly.

an overflow of unsigned integer will happen and value 0 is set to

When setting bcache parameters via sysfs, there are some variables are
defined as bit-field value. Current bcache code in sysfs.c uses either
d_strtoul() or sysfs_strtoul() to convert the input string to unsigned
integer value and set it to the corresponded bit-field value.
The problem is, the bit-field value only takes the lowest bit of the
converted value. If input is 2, the expected value (like bool value)
of the bit-field value should be 1, but indeed it is 0.
The following sysfs files for bit-field variables have such problem,
bypass_torture_test, for dc->bypass_torture_test
writeback_metadata, for dc->writeback_metadata
writeback_running, for dc->writeback_running
verify, for c->verify

btree_shrinker_disabled,for c->shrinker_disabled
copy_gc_enabled, for c->copy_gc_enabled

then if the converted value is non-zero, the bit-field variables will

When setting bool values via sysfs interface, e.g. writeback_metadata,
if writing 1 into writeback_metadata file, dc->writeback_metadata is
set to 1, but if writing 2 into the file, dc->writeback_metadata is
0. This is misleading, a better result should be 1 for all non-zero
input value.
It is because dc->writeback_metadata is a bit-field variable, and
current code simply use d_strtoul() to convert a string into integer
and takes the lowest bit value. To fix such error, we need a routine
to convert the input string into unsigned integer, and set target
variable to 1 if the converted integer is non-zero.
This patch introduces a new macro called sysfs_strtoul_bool(), it can
be used to convert input string into bool value, we can use it to set

84 if (attr == &sysfs_ ## file) \
85 return strtoul_safe_clamp(buf, var, min, max) \
86 ?: (ssize_t) size; \
87 } while (0)
The problem is, if bit width of var is less then unsigned long, min and
max may not protect var from integer overflow, because overflow happens
in strtoul_safe_clamp() before checking min and max.
To fix such overflow in sysfs_strtoul_clamp(), to make min and max take
effect, this patch adds an unsigned long variable, and uses it to macro
strtoul_safe_clamp() to convert an unsigned long value in range defined
by [min, max]. Then assign this value to var. By this method, if bit
width of var is less than unsigned long, integer overflow won't happen
before min and max are checking.
Now sysfs_strtoul_clamp() can properly handle smaller data type like
unsigned int, of cause min and max should be defined in range of
unsigned int too.

Stale && dirty keys can be produced in the follow way:
After writeback in write_dirty_finish(), dirty keys k1 will
replace by clean keys k2
==>ret = bch_btree_insert(dc->disk.c, &keys, NULL, &w->key);
==>btree_insert_fn(struct btree_op *b_op, struct btree *b)
==>static int bch_btree_insert_node(struct btree *b,
struct btree_op *op,
struct keylist *insert_keys,
atomic_t *journal_ref,
Then two steps:
A) update k1 to k2 in btree node memory;
bch_btree_insert_keys(b, op, insert_keys, replace_key)
B) Write the bset(contains k2) to cache disk by a 30s delay work
bch_btree_leaf_dirty(b, journal_ref).
But before the 30s delay work write the bset to cache device,
these things happened:
A) GC works, and reclaim the bucket k2 point to;
B) Allocator works, and invalidate the bucket k2 point to,
and increase the gen of the bucket, and place it into free_inc
fifo;
C) Until now, the 30s delay work still does not finish work,
so in the disk, the key still is k1, it is dirty and stale
(its gen is smaller than the gen of the bucket). and then the
machine power off suddenly happens;
D) When the machine power on again, after the btree reconstruction,
the stale dirty key appear.
In bch_extent_bad(), when expensive_debug_checks is off, it would
treat the dirty key as good even it is stale keys, and it would
cause bellow probelms:
A) In read_dirty() it would cause machine crash:
BUG_ON(ptr_stale(dc->disk.c, &w->key, 0));
B) It could be worse when reads hits stale dirty keys, it would
read old incorrect data.
This patch tolerate the existence of these stale && dirty keys,
and treat them as bad key in bch_extent_bad().

- cutoff_writeback_sync can be set in range [1, 90]
- cutoff_writeback always <= cutoff_writeback_sync

This option is helpful for people who cares writing performance more. In

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

Garbage collection thread starts to work when c->sectors_to_gc is
negative value, otherwise nothing will happen even the gc thread is
woken up by wake_up_gc().
force_wake_up_gc() sets c->sectors_to_gc to -1 before calling
wake_up_gc(), then gc thread may have chance to run if no one else sets
c->sectors_to_gc to a positive value before gc_should_run().
This routine can be called where the gc thread is woken up and required
to run in force.

"echo 1 > writeback_running" marks writeback_running even if no
writeback kthread created as "d_strtoul(writeback_running)" will simply
set dc-> writeback_running without checking the existence of
dc->writeback_thread.
Add check for setting writeback_running via sysfs: if no writeback
kthread available, reject setting to 1.

A fresh backing device is not attached to any cache_set, and
has no writeback kthread created until first attached to some
cache_set.
But bch_cached_dev_writeback_init run
"
dc->writeback_running = true;
WARN_ON(test_and_clear_bit(BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING,
&dc->disk.flags));
"
for any newly formatted backing devices.
For a fresh standalone backing device, we can get something like
following even if no writeback kthread created:
------------------------
/sys/block/bcache0/bcache# cat writeback_running
1
/sys/block/bcache0/bcache# cat writeback_rate_debug
rate: 512.0k/sec
dirty: 0.0k
target: 0.0k
proportional: 0.0k
integral: 0.0k
change: 0.0k/sec
next io: -15427384ms
The none ZERO fields are misleading as no alive writeback kthread yet.
Set dc->writeback_running false as no writeback thread created in
bch_cached_dev_writeback_init().
We have writeback thread created and woken up in bch_cached_dev_writeback
_start(). Set dc->writeback_running true before bch_writeback_queue()
called, as a writeback thread will check if dc->writeback_running is true
before writing back dirty data, and hung if false detected.
After the change, we can get the following output for a fresh standalone
backing device:
-----------------------
/sys/block/bcache0/bcache$ cat writeback_running
0
/sys/block/bcache0/bcache# cat writeback_rate_debug

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.
Add more comment around cache_set->fill_iter to make code less confusing.

time, keys (1,128K) to (1,1024K) are flush to the backend device, but
the end key (1,1024K) is not included, since the bellow code:
if (bkey_cmp(k, refill->end) >= 0) {
ret = MAP_DONE;
goto out;
}
And in the next time when we refill writeback keybuf again, we searched
key start from (1,1024K), and got a key bigger than it, so the key

UUIDs are considered as metadata. __uuid_write should add the number
of buckets (in sectors) written to disk to ca->meta_sectors_written.
Currently only 1 bucket is used in uuid write.
Steps to test:
1) create a fresh backing device and a fresh cache device separately.
The backing device didn't attach to any cache set.
2) cd /sys/block/<cache device>/bcache
cat metadata_written // record the output value
cat bucket_size
3) attach the backing device to cache set
4) cat metadata_written
The output value is almost the same as the value in step 2
before the change.
After the change, the value is bigger about 1 bucket size.

Commit ea8c5356d3 ("bcache: set max writeback rate when I/O request

atomic_long_t and uses atomic_long_set() in drivers/md/bcache/sysfs.c
to set new writeback rate, after the input is converted from memory
buf to long int by sysfs_strtoul_clamp().
The above change has a problem because there is an implicit return
inside sysfs_strtoul_clamp() so the following atomic_long_set()
won't be called. This error is detected by 0day system with following
snipped smatch warnings:

: cache set not found
The first statement in the message was right, but the second was
confusing.
bch_cached_dev_attach has various pr_ statements for various error
codes, except ENOENT.
After the change, rerun above command twice:
echo 796b5c05-b03c-4bc7-9cbd-a8df5e8be891 > \
/sys/block/bcache0/bcache/attach
echo 796b5c05-b03c-4bc7-9cbd-a8df5e8be891 > \
/sys/block/bcache0/bcache/attach
In dmesg we only got:
bcache: bch_cached_dev_attach() Can't attach sda6: already attached
No confusing "cache set not found" message anymore.
And for some not exist SET-UUID:
echo 796b5c05-b03c-4bc7-9cbd-a8df5e8be898 > \
/sys/block/bcache0/bcache/attach
In dmesg we can get:
bcache: __cached_dev_store() Can't attach 796b5c05-b03c-4bc7-9cbd-\
a8df5e8be898
: cache set not found

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.

This patch tries to add code comments in bset.c, to make some
tricky code and designment to be more comprehensible. Most information
of this patch comes from the discussion between Kent and I, he
offers very informative details. If there is any mistake
of the idea behind the code, no doubt that's from me misrepresentation.

In bch_btree_node_get() the read-in btree node will be partially
prefetched into L1 cache for following bset iteration (if there is).
But if the btree node read is failed, the perfetch operations will
waste L1 cache space. This patch checkes whether read operation and
only does cache prefetch when read I/O succeeded.

When writeback is not running, writeback rate should be 0, other value is
misleading. And the following dyanmic writeback rate debug parameters
should be 0 too,
rate, proportional, integral, change
otherwise they are misleading when writeback is not running.
