bcache: do not mark writeback_running too early
A fresh backing device is not attached to any cache_set, and
has no writeback kthread created until first attached to some
cache_set.
But bch_cached_dev_writeback_init run
"
dc->writeback_running = true;
WARN_ON(test_and_clear_bit(BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING,
&dc->disk.flags));
"
for any newly formatted backing devices.
For a fresh standalone backing device, we can get something like
following even if no writeback kthread created:
------------------------
/sys/block/bcache0/bcache# cat writeback_running
1
/sys/block/bcache0/bcache# cat writeback_rate_debug
rate: 512.0k/sec
dirty: 0.0k
target: 0.0k
proportional: 0.0k
integral: 0.0k
change: 0.0k/sec
next io: -15427384ms
The none ZERO fields are misleading as no alive writeback kthread yet.
Set dc->writeback_running false as no writeback thread created in
bch_cached_dev_writeback_init().
We have writeback thread created and woken up in bch_cached_dev_writeback
_start(). Set dc->writeback_running true before bch_writeback_queue()
called, as a writeback thread will check if dc->writeback_running is true
before writing back dirty data, and hung if false detected.
After the change, we can get the following output for a fresh standalone
backing device:
-----------------------
/sys/block/bcache0/bcache$ cat writeback_running
0
/sys/block/bcache0/bcache# cat writeback_rate_debug
rate: 0.0k/sec
dirty: 0.0k
target: 0.0k
proportional: 0.0k
integral: 0.0k
change: 0.0k/sec
next io: 0ms
v1 -> v2:
Set dc->writeback_running before bch_writeback_queue() called,
