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. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com> Cc: linux-stable <stable@vger.kernel.org> # >= v3.10 Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Some of bcache's utility code has made it into the rest of the kernel, so drop the bcache versions. Bcache used to have a workaround for allocating from a bio set under generic_make_request() (if you allocated more than once, the bios you already allocated would get stuck on current->bio_list when you submitted, and you'd risk deadlock) - bcache would mask out __GFP_WAIT when allocating bios under generic_make_request() so that allocation could fail and it could retry from workqueue. But bio_alloc_bioset() has a workaround now, so we can drop this hack and the associated error handling. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <koverstreet@google.com>
Now that we're tracking dirty data per stripe, we can add two optimizations for raid5/6: * If a stripe is already dirty, force writes to that stripe to 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.

To make background writeback aware of raid5/6 stripes, we first need to track the amount of dirty data within each stripe - we do this by breaking up the existing sectors_dirty into per stripe atomic_ts Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <koverstreet@google.com>
Previously, dirty_data wouldn't get initialized until the first garbage collection... which was a bit of a problem for background writeback (as the PD controller keys off of it) and also confusing for users. This is also prep work for making background writeback aware of raid5/6 stripes. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <koverstreet@google.com>
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.

This code appears to have rotted... fix various bugs and do some refactoring. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <koverstreet@google.com>

Does writethrough and writeback caching, handles unclean shutdown, and has a bunch of other nifty features motivated by real world usage. See the wiki at http://bcache.evilpiepirate.org for more. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <koverstreet@google.com>
