2013-07-12bcache: Allocation kthread fixesKent Overstreet
The alloc kthread should've been using try_to_freeze() - and also there was the potential for the alloc kthread to get woken up after it had shut down, which would have been bad. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
2013-06-26bcache: Fix/revamp tracepointsKent Overstreet
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.

2013-06-26bcache: Convert allocator thread to kthreadKent Overstreet
Using a workqueue when we just want a single thread is a bit silly. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <koverstreet@google.com>
2013-04-30bcache: Allocator cleanup/fixesKent Overstreet
The main fix is that bch_allocator_thread() wasn't waiting on garbage collection to finish (if invalidate_buckets had set ca->invalidate_needs_gc); we need that to make sure the allocator doesn't spin and potentially block gc from finishing. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <koverstreet@google.com>
2013-03-25bcache: Style/checkpatch fixesKent Overstreet

2013-03-23bcache: A block layer cacheKent Overstreet
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>
