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>

|
|
Description:
|
|
A write to this file causes the backing device or cache to be
|
|
unregistered. If a backing device had dirty data in the cache,
|
|
writeback mode is automatically disabled and all dirty data is
|
|
flushed before the device is unregistered. Caches unregister
|
|
all associated backing devices before unregistering themselves.

the bcache/ dir of that cache.

For backing devices: integer number of full cache hits,

Contact: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>
|
|
Description:
|
|
For backing devices: Threshold past which sequential IO will
|
|
skip the cache. Read and written as bytes in human readable
|
|
units (i.e. echo 10M > sequntial_cutoff).

|
|
Description:
|
|
Sum of all reads and writes that have bypassed the cache (due

|
to the sequential cutoff). Expressed as bytes in human

readable units.

Date: November 2010
|
|
Contact: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>
|
|
Description:
|
|
For backing devices: When on, writeback caching is enabled and
|
|
writes will be buffered in the cache. When off, caching is in
|
|
writethrough mode; reads and writes will be added to the
|
|
cache but no write buffering will take place.

What: /sys/block/<disk>/bcache/writeback_running
|
|
Date: November 2010
|
|
Contact: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>
|
|
Description:
|
|
For backing devices: when off, dirty data will not be written
|
|
from the cache to the backing device. The cache will still be
|
|
used to buffer writes until it is mostly full, at which point
|
|
writes transparently revert to writethrough mode. Intended only
|
|
for benchmarking/testing.

What: /sys/block/<disk>/bcache/writeback_delay
|
|
Date: November 2010

|
Contact: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>
|
|
Description:
|
|
For backing devices: In writeback mode, when dirty data is
|
|
written to the cache and the cache held no dirty data for that
|
|
backing device, writeback from cache to backing device starts
|
|
after this delay, expressed as an integer number of seconds.

What: /sys/block/<disk>/bcache/writeback_percent
|
|
Date: November 2010
|
|
Contact: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>
|
|
Description:
|
|
For backing devices: If nonzero, writeback from cache to
|
|
backing device only takes place when more than this percentage
|
|
of the cache is used, allowing more write coalescing to take
|
|
place and reducing total number of writes sent to the backing
|
|
device. Integer between 0 and 40.

What: /sys/block/<disk>/bcache/synchronous
|
|
Date: November 2010
|
|
Contact: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>
|
|
Description:
|
|
For a cache, a boolean that allows synchronous mode to be
|
|
switched on and off. In synchronous mode all writes are ordered
|
|
such that the cache can reliably recover from unclean shutdown;
|
|
if disabled bcache will not generally wait for writes to
|
|
complete but if the cache is not shut down cleanly all data
|
|
will be discarded from the cache. Should not be turned off with
|
|
writeback caching enabled.

cache creation time; should match the erase block size of the

SSD for optimal performance.
