<content type='text'>
commit 86755b7a96faed57f910f9e6b8061e019ac1ec08 upstream.

This can happen e.g. during disk cloning.

This is an incomplete fix: it does not catch duplicate UUIDs earlier
when things are still unattached.  It does not unregister the device.
Further changes to cope better with this are planned but conflict with
Coly's ongoing improvements to handling device errors.  In the meantime,
one can manually stop the device after this has happened.

Attempts to attach a duplicate device result in:

[  136.372404] loop: module loaded
[  136.424461] bcache: register_bdev() registered backing device loop0
[  136.424464] bcache: bch_cached_dev_attach() Tried to attach loop0 but duplicate UUID already attached

My test procedure is:

  dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=imgfile bs=1024 count=262144
  losetup -f imgfile

When registering duplicate cache device in register_cache(), after failure
on calling register_cache_set(), bch_cache_release() will be called, then
bdev will be freed, so bdevname(bdev, name) caused kernel crash.

Since bch_cache_release() will free bdev, so in this patch we make sure
bdev being freed if register_cache() fail, and do not free bdev again in
register_bcache() when register_cache() fail.

[ Upstream commit 330a4db89d39a6b43f36da16824eaa7a7509d34d ]

mutex_destroy does nothing most of time, but it's better to call
it to make the code future proof and it also has some meaning
for like mutex debug.

As Coly pointed out in a previous review, bcache_exit() may not be
able to handle all the references properly if userspace registers
cache and backing devices right before bch_debug_init runs and
bch_debug_init failes later. So not exposing userspace interface
until everything is ready to avoid that issue.

commit 4b758df21ee7081ab41448d21d60367efaa625b3 upstream.

If blkdev_get_by_path() in register_bcache() fails, we try to lookup the
block device using lookup_bdev() to detect which situation we are in to
properly report error. However we never drop the reference returned to
us from lookup_bdev(). Fix that.

<title>bcache: initialize dirty stripes in flash_dev_run()</title>

commit 175206cf9ab63161dec74d9cd7f9992e062491f5 upstream.

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().

The original error was thought to be corruption, but was actually caused by:
	make-bcache --data-offset N
where N was in bytes and should have been in sectors.  While userspace
tools should be updated to check --data-offset beyond end of volume,
hopefully this will help others that might not have noticed the units.

The fifo code in upstream bcache can't use the last element in the buffer,
which was the cause of the bug: if you asked for a power of two size,
it'd give you a fifo that could hold one less than what you asked for
rather than allocating a buffer twice as big.

The fifo code in upstream bcache can't use the last element in the buffer,
which was the cause of the bug: if you asked for a power of two size,
it'd give you a fifo that could hold one less than what you asked for
rather than allocating a buffer twice as big.

<title>bcache: register_bcache(): call blkdev_put() when cache_alloc() fails</title>

register_cache() is supposed to return an error string on error so that
register_bcache() will will blkdev_put and cleanup other user counters,
but it does not set 'char *err' when cache_alloc() fails (eg, due to
memory pressure) and thus register_bcache() performs no cleanup.

register_bcache() &lt;----------\  &lt;- no jump to err_close, no blkdev_put()
   |                         |
   +-&gt;register_cache()       |  &lt;- fails to set char *err
         |                   |
         +-&gt;cache_alloc() ---/  &lt;- returns error

This patch sets `char *err` for this failure case so that register_cache()
will cause register_bcache() to correctly jump to err_close and do
cleanup.  This was tested under OOM conditions that triggered the bug.
