  CONFIG_DEBUGFS isn't enabled"

bcache: return 0 from bch_debug_init() if CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=n

2018-05-17T15:43:40+00:00

Commit 539d39eb2708 ("bcache: fix wrong return value in bch_debug_init()")
returns the return value of debugfs_create_dir() to bcache_init(). When
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=n, bch_debug_init() always returns 1 and makes
bcache_init() failedi.

This patch makes bch_debug_init() always returns 0 if CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=n,
so bcache can continue to work for the kernels which don't have debugfs
enanbled.

Changelog:
v4: Add Acked-by from Kent Overstreet.
v3: Use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_FS) to replace #ifdef DEBUG_FS.
v2: Remove a warning information
v1: Initial version.

dm mirror: remove VLA usage

2018-05-04T14:35:20+00:00

On the quest to remove all VLAs from the kernel[1], this avoids VLAs
in dm-raid1.c by just using the maximum size for the stack arrays.
The nr_mirrors value was already capped at 9, so this makes it a trivial
adjustment to the array sizes.

bcache: use pr_info() to inform duplicated CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE set

2018-05-03T14:35:16+00:00

It is possible that multiple I/O requests hits on failed cache device or
backing device, therefore it is quite common that CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE is
set already when a task tries to set the bit from bch_cache_set_error().
Currently the message "CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE already set" is printed by
pr_warn(), which might mislead users to think a serious fault happens in
source code.

This patch uses pr_info() to print the information in such situation,
avoid extra worries. This information is helpful to understand bcache
behavior in cache device failures, so I still keep them in source code.

bcache: set dc->io_disable to true in conditional_stop_bcache_device()

2018-05-03T14:35:15+00:00

Commit 7e027ca4b534b ("bcache: add stop_when_cache_set_failed option to
backing device") adds stop_when_cache_set_failed option and stops bcache
device if stop_when_cache_set_failed is auto and there is dirty data on
broken cache device. There might exists a small time gap that the cache
set is released and set to NULL but bcache device is not released yet
(because they are released in parallel). During this time gap, dc->c is
NULL so CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE won't be checked, and dc->io_disable is still
false, so new coming I/O requests will be accepted and directly go into
backing device as no cache set attached to. If there is dirty data on
cache device, this behavior may introduce potential inconsistent data.

This patch sets dc->io_disable to true before calling bcache_device_stop()
to make sure the backing device will reject new coming I/O request as
well, so even in the small time gap no I/O will directly go into backing
device to corrupt data consistency.

[  631.071085] bcache: bcache_device_free() bcache0 stopped

The reason is when cache_set_flush() tries to call kthread_stop() to stop
allocator thread, but it exits already due to cache device I/O errors.

This patch adds wait_for_kthread_stop() at tail of bch_allocator_thread(),
to prevent the thread routine exiting directly. Then the allocator thread
can be blocked at wait_for_kthread_stop() and wait for cache_set_flush()
to stop it by calling kthread_stop().

changelog:
v3: add Reviewed-by from Hannnes.
v2: not directly return from allocator_wait(), move 'return 0' to tail of
    bch_allocator_thread().
v1: initial version.

bcache: count backing device I/O error for writeback I/O

2018-05-03T14:35:12+00:00

Commit c7b7bd07404c5 ("bcache: add io_disable to struct cached_dev")
counts backing device I/O requets and set dc->io_disable to true if error
counters exceeds dc->io_error_limit. But it only counts I/O errors for
regular I/O request, neglects errors of write back I/Os when backing device
is offline.

This patch counts the errors of writeback I/Os, in dirty_endio() if
bio->bi_status is  not 0, it means error happens when writing dirty keys
to backing device, then bch_count_backing_io_errors() is called.

By this fix, even there is no reqular I/O request coming, if writeback I/O
errors exceed dc->io_error_limit, the bcache device may still be stopped
for the broken backing device.

bcache: set CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE in bch_cached_dev_error()

2018-05-03T14:35:10+00:00

Commit c7b7bd07404c5 ("bcache: add io_disable to struct cached_dev") tries
to stop bcache device by calling bcache_device_stop() when too many I/O
errors happened on backing device. But if there is internal I/O happening
on cache device (writeback scan, garbage collection, etc), a regular I/O
request triggers the internal I/Os may still holds a refcount of dc->count,
and the refcount may only be dropped after the internal I/O stopped.

By this patch, bch_cached_dev_error() will check if the backing device is
attached to a cache set, if yes that CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE will be set to
flags of this cache set. Then internal I/Os on cache device will be
rejected and stopped immediately, and the bcache device can be stopped.

For people who are not familiar with the interesting refcount dependance,
let me explain a bit more how the fix works. Example the writeback thread
will scan cache device for dirty data writeback purpose. Before it stopps,
it holds a refcount of dc->count. When CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE bit is set,
the internal I/O will stopped and the while-loop in bch_writeback_thread()
quits and calls cached_dev_put() to drop dc->count. If this is the last
refcount to drop, then cached_dev_detach_finish() will be called. In this
call back function, in turn closure_put(dc->disk.cl) is called to drop a
refcount of closure dc->disk.cl. If this is the last refcount of this
closure to drop, then cached_dev_flush() will be called. Then the cached
device is freed. So if CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE is not set, the bache device
can not be stopped until all inernal cache device I/O stopped. For large
size cache device, and writeback thread competes locks with gc thread,
there might be a quite long time to wait.

bcache: store disk name in struct cache and struct cached_dev

2018-05-03T14:35:08+00:00

Current code uses bdevname() or bio_devname() to reference gendisk
disk name when bcache needs to display the disk names in kernel message.
It was safe before bcache device failure handling patch set merged in,
because when devices are failed, there was deadlock to prevent bcache
printing error messages with gendisk disk name. But after the failure
handling patch set merged, the deadlock is fixed, so it is possible
that the gendisk structure bdev->hd_disk is released when bdevname() is
called to reference bdev->bd_disk->disk_name[]. This is why I receive
bug report of NULL pointers deference panic.

This patch stores gendisk disk name in a buffer inside struct cache and
struct cached_dev, then print out the offline device name won't reference
bdev->hd_disk anymore. And this patch also avoids extra function calls
of bdevname() and bio_devnmae().

Changelog:
v3, add Reviewed-by from Hannes.
v2, call bdevname() earlier in register_bdev()
v1, first version with segguestion from Junhui Tang.
