Current make_request based drivers use either blk_alloc_queue_node or
blk_alloc_queue to allocate a queue, and then set up the make_request_fn
function pointer and a few parameters using the blk_queue_make_request
helper. Simplify this by passing the make_request pointer to
blk_alloc_queue, and while at it merge the _node variant into the main
helper by always passing a node_id, and remove the superfluous gfp_mask
parameter. A lower-level __blk_alloc_queue is kept for the blk-mq case.

The idea of this patch is from Davidlohr Bueso, he posts a patch
for bcache to optimize barrier usage for read-modify-write atomic
bitops. Indeed such optimization can also apply on other locations
where smp_mb() is used before or after an atomic operation.
This patch replaces smp_mb() with smp_mb__before_atomic() or
smp_mb__after_atomic() in btree.c and writeback.c, where it is used
to synchronize memory cache just earlier on other cores. Although
the locations are not on hot code path, it is always not bad to mkae
things a little better.

When attaching a cached device (a.k.a backing device) to a cache
device, bch_sectors_dirty_init() is called to count dirty sectors
and stripes (see what bcache_dev_sectors_dirty_add() does) on the
cache device.
The counting is done by a single thread recursive function
bch_btree_map_keys() to iterate all the bcache btree nodes.
If the btree has huge number of nodes, bch_sectors_dirty_init() will
take quite long time. In my testing, if the registering cache set has
a existed UUID which matches a already registered cached device, the
automatical attachment during the registration may take more than
55 minutes. This is too long for waiting the bcache to work in real
deployment.
Fortunately when bch_sectors_dirty_init() is called, no other thread
will access the btree yet, it is safe to do a read-only parallelized
dirty sectors counting by multiple threads.
This patch tries to create multiple threads, and each thread tries to
one-by-one count dirty sectors from the sub-tree indexed by a root
node key which the thread fetched. After the sub-tree is counted, the
counting thread will continue to fetch another root node key, until
the fetched key is NULL. How many threads in parallel depends on
the number of keys from the btree root node, and the number of online
CPU core. The thread number will be the less number but no more than
BCH_DIRTY_INIT_THRD_MAX. If there are only 2 keys in root node, it
can only be 2x times faster by this patch. But if there are 10 keys
in the root node, with this patch it can be 10x times faster.

When registering a cache device, bch_btree_check() is called to check
all btree nodes, to make sure the btree is consistent and not
corrupted.
bch_btree_check() is recursively executed in a single thread, when there
are a lot of data cached and the btree is huge, it may take very long
time to check all the btree nodes. In my testing, I observed it took
around 50 minutes to finish bch_btree_check().
When checking the bcache btree nodes, the cache set is not running yet,
and indeed the whole tree is in read-only state, it is safe to create
multiple threads to check the btree in parallel.
This patch tries to create multiple threads, and each thread tries to
one-by-one check the sub-tree indexed by a key from the btree root node.
The parallel thread number depends on how many keys in the btree root
node. At most BCH_BTR_CHKTHREAD_MAX (64) threads can be created, but in
practice is should be min(cpu-number/2, root-node-keys-number).

After this warning, following refcount API calls for the counter all fail

Fix this by setting the initial reference counter value not zero but one
for the new chunk works. Instead, do not call refcount_inc() via
dmz_get_chunk_work() for the new chunks works.
The failure was observed with linux version 5.4 with CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL

zoned used atomic_t APIs which does not check addition to zero, then this

The function dm_suspended returns true if the target is suspended.
However, when the target is being suspended during unload, it returns
false.
An example where this is a problem: the test "!dm_suspended(wc->ti)" in
writecache_writeback is not sufficient, because dm_suspended returns
zero while writecache_suspend is in progress. As is, without an
enhanced dm_suspended, simply switching from flush_workqueue to
drain_workqueue still emits warnings:
workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 10 tries
workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 100 tries
workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 200 tries
workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 300 tries
workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 400 tries
writecache_suspend calls flush_workqueue(wc->writeback_wq) - this function
flushes the current work. However, the workqueue may re-queue itself and
flush_workqueue doesn't wait for re-queued works to finish. Because of
this - the function writecache_writeback continues execution after the
device was suspended and then concurrently with writecache_dtr, causing
a crash in writecache_writeback.
We must use drain_workqueue - that waits until the work and all re-queued
works finish.
As a prereq for switching to drain_workqueue, this commit fixes
dm_suspended to return true after the presuspend hook and before the
postsuspend hook - just like during a normal suspend. It allows
simplifying the dm-integrity and dm-writecache targets so that they
don't have to maintain suspended flags on their own.
With this change use of drain_workqueue() can be used effectively. This
change was tested with the lvm2 testsuite and cryptsetup testsuite and
the are no regressions.

The crash can be reproduced by running the lvm2 testsuite test
lvconvert-thin-external-cache.sh for several minutes, e.g.:
while :; do make check T=shell/lvconvert-thin-external-cache.sh; done
The crash happens in this call chain:
do_waker -> policy_tick -> smq_tick -> end_hotspot_period -> clear_bitset
-> memset -> __memset -- which accesses an invalid pointer in the vmalloc
area.
The work entry on the workqueue is executed even after the bitmap was
freed. The problem is that cancel_delayed_work doesn't wait for the
running work item to finish, so the work item can continue running and
re-submitting itself even after cache_postsuspend. In order to make sure
that the work item won't be running, we must use cancel_delayed_work_sync.
Also, change flush_workqueue to drain_workqueue, so that if some work item
submits itself or another work item, we are properly waiting for both of
them.

we must make sure that we are not in the map function - in order to
avoid the deadlock due to bio queuing in generic_make_request. To
avoid the deadlock, we offload the request to metadata_wq.
However, metadata_wq also processes metadata updates for write requests.
If there are too many requests that get offloaded to metadata_wq at the
beginning of dm_integrity_map_continue, the workqueue metadata_wq
becomes clogged and the system is incapable of processing any metadata
updates.
This causes a deadlock because all the requests that need to do metadata
updates wait for metadata_wq to proceed and metadata_wq waits inside
wait_and_add_new_range until some existing request releases its range
lock (which doesn't happen because the range lock is released after
metadata update).
In order to fix the deadlock, we create a new workqueue offload_wq and
offload requests to it - so that processing of offload_wq is independent
from processing of metadata_wq.

This reverts commit 1df3877ff6.
In my testing, sometimes even all the cached btree nodes are freed,
creating gc and allocator kernel threads may still fail. Finally it
turns out that kthread_run() may fail if there is pending signal for
current task. And the pending signal is sent from OOM killer which
is triggered by memory consuption in bch_btree_check().
Therefore explicitly shrinking bcache btree node here does not help,
and after the shrinker callback is improved, as well as pending signals
are ignored before creating kernel threads, now such operation is
unncessary anymore.
This patch reverts the commit 1df3877ff6 ("bcache: shrink btree node
cache after bch_btree_check()") because we have better improvement now.

Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
When run a cache set, all the bcache btree node of this cache set will
be checked by bch_btree_check(). If the bcache btree is very large,
iterating all the btree nodes will occupy too much system memory and
the bcache registering process might be selected and killed by system
OOM killer. kthread_run() will fail if current process has pending
signal, therefore the kthread creating in run_cache_set() for gc and
allocator kernel threads are very probably failed for a very large
bcache btree.
Indeed such OOM is safe and the registering process will exit after
the registration done. Therefore this patch flushes pending signals
during the cache set start up, specificly in bch_cache_allocator_start()
and bch_gc_thread_start(), to make sure run_cache_set() won't fail for
large cahced data set.

By now, bmap() will either return the physical block number related to
the requested file offset or 0 in case of error or the requested offset
maps into a hole.
This patch makes the needed changes to enable bmap() to proper return
errors, using the return value as an error return, and now, a pointer
must be passed to bmap() to be filled with the mapped physical block.
It will change the behavior of bmap() on return:
- negative value in case of error
- zero on success or map fell into a hole
In case of a hole, the *block will be zero too
Since this is a prep patch, by now, the only error return is -EINVAL if
->bmap doesn't exist.

In year 2007 high performance SSD was still expensive, in order to
save more space for real workload or meta data, the readahead I/Os
for non-meta data was bypassed and not cached on SSD.
In now days, SSD price drops a lot and people can find larger size
SSD with more comfortable price. It is unncessary to alway bypass
normal readahead I/Os to save SSD space for now.
This patch adds options for readahead data cache policies via sysfs
file /sys/block/bcache<N>/readahead_cache_policy, the options are,
- "all": cache all readahead data I/Os.
- "meta-only": only cache meta data, and bypass other regular I/Os.
If users want to make bcache continue to only cache readahead request
for metadata and bypass regular data readahead, please set "meta-only"
to this sysfs file. By default, bcache will back to cache all read-
ahead requests now.

In bset.h, macro bset_bkey_last() is defined as,
bkey_idx((struct bkey *) (i)->d, (i)->keys)
Parameter i can be variable type of data structure, the macro always
works once the type of struct i has member 'd' and 'keys'.
bset_bkey_last() is also used in macro csum_set() to calculate the
checksum of a on-disk data structure. When csum_set() is used to
calculate checksum of on-disk bcache super block, the parameter 'i'
data type is struct cache_sb_disk. Inside struct cache_sb_disk (also in
struct cache_sb) the member keys is __u16 type. But bkey_idx() expects
unsigned int (a 32bit width), so there is problem when sending
parameters via stack to call bkey_idx().
Sparse tool from Intel 0day kbuild system reports this incompatible
problem. bkey_idx() is part of user space API, so the simplest fix is
to cast the (i)->keys to unsigned int type in macro bset_bkey_last().

When shrink btree node cache from c->btree_cache in bch_mca_scan(),
no matter the selected node is reaped or not, it will be rotated from
the head to the tail of c->btree_cache list. But in bcache journal
code, when flushing the btree nodes with oldest journal entry, btree
nodes are iterated and slected from the tail of c->btree_cache list in
btree_flush_write(). The list_rotate_left() in bch_mca_scan() will
make btree_flush_write() iterate more nodes in c->btree_list in reverse
order.
This patch just reaps the selected btree node cache, and not move it
from the head to the tail of c->btree_cache list. Then bch_mca_scan()

The problem is, if virtual memory code calls bch_mca_scan() and
the calculated 'nr' is 1 or 2, then in the above loop, nothing will
be shunk. In such case, if slub/slab manager calls bch_mca_scan()
for many times with small scan number, it does not help to shrink
cache memory and just wasts CPU cycles.
This patch just selects btree node caches from tail of the
c->btree_cache_freeable list, then the newly freed host cache can
still be allocated by mca_alloc(), and at least 1 node can be shunk.

The member 'accessed' of struct btree is used in bch_mca_scan() when
shrinking btree node caches. The original idea is, if b->accessed is
set, clean it and look at next btree node cache from c->btree_cache
list, and only shrink the caches whose b->accessed is cleaned. Then
only cold btree node cache will be shrunk.
But when I/O pressure is high, it is very probably that b->accessed
of a btree node cache will be set again in bch_btree_node_get()
before bch_mca_scan() selects it again. Then there is no chance for
bch_mca_scan() to shrink enough memory back to slub or slab system.
This patch removes member accessed from struct btree, then once a
btree node ache is selected, it will be immediately shunk. By this
change, bch_mca_scan() may release btree node cahce more efficiently.

the commit 91be66e131 ("bcache: performance improvement for
btree_flush_write()") was an effort to flushing btree node with oldest
btree node faster in following methods,
- Only iterate dirty btree nodes in c->btree_cache, avoid scanning a lot
of clean btree nodes.
- Take c->btree_cache as a LRU-like list, aggressively flushing all
dirty nodes from tail of c->btree_cache util the btree node with
oldest journal entry is flushed. This is to reduce the time of holding
c->bucket_lock.
Guoju Fang and Shuang Li reported that they observe unexptected extra
write I/Os on cache device after applying the above patch. Guoju Fang
provideed more detailed diagnose information that the aggressive
btree nodes flushing may cause 10x more btree nodes to flush in his
workload. He points out when system memory is large enough to hold all
btree nodes in memory, c->btree_cache is not a LRU-like list any more.
Then the btree node with oldest journal entry is very probably not-
close to the tail of c->btree_cache list. In such situation much more
dirty btree nodes will be aggressively flushed before the target node
is flushed. When slow SATA SSD is used as cache device, such over-
aggressive flushing behavior will cause performance regression.
After spending a lot of time on debug and diagnose, I find the real
condition is more complicated, aggressive flushing dirty btree nodes
from tail of c->btree_cache list is not a good solution.
- When all btree nodes are cached in memory, c->btree_cache is not
a LRU-like list, the btree nodes with oldest journal entry won't
be close to the tail of the list.
- There can be hundreds dirty btree nodes reference the oldest journal
entry, before flushing all the nodes the oldest journal entry cannot
be reclaimed.
When the above two conditions mixed together, a simply flushing from
tail of c->btree_cache list is really NOT a good idea.
Fortunately there is still chance to make btree_flush_write() work
better. Here is how this patch avoids unnecessary btree nodes flushing,
- Only acquire c->journal.lock when getting oldest journal entry of
fifo c->journal.pin. In rested locations check the journal entries
locklessly, so their values can be changed on other cores
in parallel.
- In loop list_for_each_entry_safe_reverse(), checking latest front
point of fifo c->journal.pin. If it is different from the original
point which we get with locking c->journal.lock, it means the oldest
journal entry is reclaim on other cores. At this moment, all selected
dirty nodes recorded in array btree_nodes[] are all flushed and clean
on other CPU cores, it is unncessary to iterate c->btree_cache any
longer. Just quit the list_for_each_entry_safe_reverse() loop and
the following for-loop will skip all the selected clean nodes.
- Find a proper time to quit the list_for_each_entry_safe_reverse()
loop. Check the refcount value of orignial fifo front point, if the
value is larger than selected node number of btree_nodes[], it means
more matching btree nodes should be scanned. Otherwise it means no
more matching btee nodes in rest of c->btree_cache list, the loop
can be quit. If the original oldest journal entry is reclaimed and
fifo front point is updated, the refcount of original fifo front point
will be 0, then the loop will be quit too.
- Not hold c->bucket_lock too long time. c->bucket_lock is also required
for space allocation for cached data, hold it for too long time will
block regular I/O requests. When iterating list c->btree_cache, even
there are a lot of maching btree nodes, in order to not holding
c->bucket_lock for too long time, only BTREE_FLUSH_NR nodes are
selected and to flush in following for-loop.
With this patch, only btree nodes referencing oldest journal entry
are flushed to cache device, no aggressive flushing for unnecessary
btree node any more. And in order to avoid blocking regluar I/O
requests, each time when btree_flush_write() called, at most only
BTREE_FLUSH_NR btree nodes are selected to flush, even there are more
maching btree nodes in list c->btree_cache.
At last, one more thing to explain: Why it is safe to read front point
of c->journal.pin without holding c->journal.lock inside the
list_for_each_entry_safe_reverse() loop ?
Here is my answer: When reading the front point of fifo c->journal.pin,
we don't need to know the exact value of front point, we just want to
check whether the value is different from the original front point
(which is accurate value because we get it while c->jouranl.lock is
held). For such purpose, it works as expected without holding
c->journal.lock. Even the front point is changed on other CPU core and
not updated to local core, and current iterating btree node has
identical journal entry local as original fetched fifo front point, it
is still safe. Because after holding mutex b->write_lock (with memory
barrier) this btree node can be found as clean and skipped, the loop
will quite latter when iterate on next node of list c->btree_cache.
