d24a6e1087 bcache: Fix dirty_data accounting
Dirty data accounting wasn't quite right - firstly, we were adding the key we're
inserting after it could have merged with another dirty key already in the
btree, and secondly we could sometimes pass the wrong offset to
bcache_dev_sectors_dirty_add() for dirty data we were overwriting - which is
important when tracking dirty data by stripe.

NOTE FOR BACKPORTERS: For 3.10 (and 3.11?) there's other accounting fixes
necessary that got squashed in with other patches; the full patch against 3.10
is 408cc2f47eeac93a, available at:

The flow control in btree_insert_node() was... fragile... before,

a1f0358b2b bcache: Incremental gc
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).

3a3b6a4e07 bcache: Don't bother with bucket refcount for btree node allocations
The bucket refcount (dropped with bkey_put()) is only needed to prevent
the newly allocated bucket from being garbage collected until we've
added a pointer to it somewhere. But for btree node allocations, the
fact that we have btree nodes locked is enough to guard against races
with garbage collection.

Eventually the per bucket refcount is going to be replaced with
something specific to bch_alloc_sectors().

48dad8baf9 bcache: Add btree_map() functions
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.

403b6cdeb1 bcache: Insert multiple keys at a time
We'll often end up with a list of adjacent keys to insert -
because bch_data_insert() may have to fragment the data it writes.

Originally, to simplify things and avoid having to deal with corner
cases bch_btree_insert() would pass keys from this list one at a time to
btree_insert_recurse() - mainly because the list of keys might span leaf
nodes, so it was easier this way.

With the btree_insert_node() refactoring, it's now a lot easier to just
pass down the whole list and have btree_insert_recurse() iterate over
leaf nodes until it's done.

26c949f806 bcache: Add btree_insert_node()
The flow of control in the old btree insertion code was rather -
backwards; we'd recurse down the btree (in btree_insert_recurse()), and
then if we needed to split the keys to be inserted into the parent node
would be effectively returned up to btree_insert_recurse(), which would
notice there was more work to do and finish the insertion.

The main problem with this was that the full logic for btree insertion
could only be used by calling btree_insert_recurse; if you'd gotten to a
btree leaf some other way and had a key to insert, if it turned out that
node needed to be split you were SOL.

This inverts the flow of control so btree_insert_node() does _full_
btree insertion, including splitting - and takes a (leaf) btree node to
insert into as a parameter.

This means we can now _correctly_ handle cache misses - for cache
misses, we need to insert a fake "check" key into the btree when we
discover we have a cache miss - while we still have the btree locked.
Previously, if the btree node was full inserting a cache miss would just
fail.

d6fd3b11ce bcache: Explicitly track btree node's parent
This is prep work for the reworked btree insertion code.

The way we set b->parent is ugly and hacky... the problem is, when
btree_split() or garbage collection splits or rewrites a btree node, the
parent changes for all its (potentially already cached) children.

I may change this later and add some code to look through the btree node
cache and find all our cached child nodes and change the parent pointer
then...

7dc19d5aff drivers: convert shrinkers to new count/scan API
Convert the driver shrinkers to the new API.  Most changes are compile
tested only because I either don't have the hardware or it's staging
stuff.

FWIW, the md and android code is pretty good, but the rest of it makes me
want to claw my eyes out.  The amount of broken code I just encountered is
mind boggling.  I've added comments explaining what is broken, but I fear
that some of the code would be best dealt with by being dragged behind the
bike shed, burying in mud up to it's neck and then run over repeatedly
with a blunt lawn mower.

Special mention goes to the zcache/zcache2 drivers.  They can't co-exist
in the build at the same time, they are under different menu options in
menuconfig, they only show up when you've got the right set of mm
subsystem options configured and so even compile testing is an exercise in
pulling teeth.  And that doesn't even take into account the horrible,
broken code...

could fail and it could retry from workqueue. But bio_alloc_bioset() has

This was originally done because we can't block on IO under
generic_make_request(). But - we already have a mechanism to punt cache
lookups to workqueue if needed, so if we just use that we don't have to
deal with the complexity of doing things asynchronously.

The main benefit is this makes the locking situation saner; we can hold
our write lock on the btree node until we're finished reading it, and we
don't need that btree_node_read_done() flag anymore.

Also, for writes, btree_write() was broken out into btree_node_write()
and btree_leaf_dirty() - the old code with the boolean argument was dumb
and confusing.

The prio_blocked mechanism was improved a bit too, now the only counter
is in struct btree_write, we don't mess with transfering a count from
struct btree anymore.

This required changing garbage collection to block prios at the start
and unblock when it finishes, which is cleaner than what it was doing
anyways (the old code had mostly the same effect, but was doing it in a
convoluted way)

And the btree iter btree_node_read_done() uses was converted to a real
mempool.

Using a workqueue when we just want a single thread is a bit silly.
