gc_gen was a temporary used to recalculate last_gc, but since we only need
bucket->last_gc when gc isn't running (gc_mark_valid = 1), we can just update
last_gc directly.

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

With the locking rework in the last patch, this shouldn't be needed anymore -
btree_node_write_work() only takes b->write_lock which is never held for very

This means the garbage collection code can better check for data and metadata
pointers to the same buckets.
Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
Deadlock happened because a foreground write slept, waiting for a bucket
to be allocated. Normally the gc would mark buckets available for invalidation.
But the moving_gc was stuck waiting for outstanding writes to complete.
These writes used the bcache_wq, the same queue foreground writes used.
This fix gives moving_gc its own work queue, so it was still finish moving
even if foreground writes are stuck waiting for allocation. It also makes
work queue a parameter to the data_insert path, so moving_gc can use its
workqueue for writes.

The BUG_ON at the end of __bch_btree_mark_key can be triggered due to
an integer overflow error:
BITMASK(GC_SECTORS_USED, struct bucket, gc_mark, 2, 13);
...
SET_GC_SECTORS_USED(g, min_t(unsigned,
GC_SECTORS_USED(g) + KEY_SIZE(k),
(1 << 14) - 1));
BUG_ON(!GC_SECTORS_USED(g));
In bcache.h, the SECTORS_USED bitfield is defined to be 13 bits wide.
While the SET_ code tries to ensure that the field doesn't overflow by
clamping it to (1<<14)-1 == 16383, this is incorrect because 16383
requires 14 bits. Therefore, if GC_SECTORS_USED() + KEY_SIZE() =
8192, the SET_ statement tries to store 8192 into a 13-bit field. In
a 13-bit field, 8192 becomes zero, thus triggering the BUG_ON.
Therefore, create a field width constant and a max value constant, and
use those to create the bitfield and check the inputs to
SET_GC_SECTORS_USED. Arguably the BITMASK() template ought to have
BUG_ON checks for too-large values, but that's a separate patch.

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

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

The old writeback PD controller could get into states where it had throttled all
the way down and take way too long to recover - it was too complicated to really
understand what it was doing.
This rewrites a good chunk of it to hopefully be simpler and make more sense,
and it also pays more attention to units which should make the behaviour a bit
easier to understand.

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

The new bio_split() can split arbitrary bios - it's not restricted to
single page bios, like the old bio_split() (previously renamed to
bio_pair_split()). It also has different semantics - it doesn't allocate
a struct bio_pair, leaving it up to the caller to handle completions.
Then convert the existing bio_pair_split() users to the new bio_split()
- and also nvme, which was open coding bio splitting.
(We have to take that BUG_ON() out of bio_integrity_trim() because this
bio_split() needs to use it, and there's no reason it has to be used on
bios marked as cloned; BIO_CLONED doesn't seem to have clearly
documented semantics anyways.)

Bcache has a hack to avoid cloning the biovec if it's all full pages -

For now, we remove the special case and always clone the bvec array so

Big garbage collection rewrite; now, garbage collection uses the same
mechanisms as used elsewhere for inserting/updating btree node pointers,
instead of rewriting interior btree nodes in place.
This makes the code significantly cleaner and less fragile, and means we
can now make garbage collection incremental - it doesn't have to hold a
write lock on the root of the btree for the entire duration of garbage
collection.
This means that there's less of a latency hit for doing garbage
collection, which means we can gc more frequently (and do a better job
of reclaiming from the cache), and we can coalesce across more btree
nodes (improving our space efficiency).

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

Lots of stuff has been open coding its own btree traversal - which is
generally pretty simple code, but there are a few subtleties.
This adds new new functions, bch_btree_map_nodes() and
bch_btree_map_keys(), which do the traversal for you. Everything that's
open coding btree traversal now (with the exception of garbage
collection) is slowly going to be converted to these two functions;
being able to write other code at a higher level of abstraction is a
big improvement w.r.t. overall code quality.

Background writeback works by scanning the btree for dirty data and
adding those keys into a fixed size buffer, then for each dirty key in
the keybuf writing it to the backing device.
When read_dirty() finishes and it's time to scan for more dirty data, we
need to wait for the outstanding writeback IO to finish - they still
take up slots in the keybuf (so that foreground writes can check for
them to avoid races) - without that wait, we'll continually rescan when
we'll be able to add at most a key or two to the keybuf, and that takes
locks that starves foreground IO. Doh.

Now that we're tracking dirty data per stripe, we can add two
optimizations for raid5/6:

writeback mode - to help build up full stripes of dirty data
* When flushing dirty data, preferentially write out full stripes first
if there are any.

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