2018-05-28bcache: Move couple of functions to sysfs.cAndy Shevchenko1-5/+0
There is couple of functions that are used exclusively in sysfs.c. Move it to there and make them static. Besides above, it will allow further clean up. No functional change intended.

2018-03-18bcache: add CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE to struct cache_set flagsColy Li1-6/+0
When too many I/Os failed on cache device, bch_cache_set_error() is called in the error handling code path to retire whole problematic cache set. If new I/O requests continue to come and take refcount dc->count, the cache set won't be retired immediately, this is a problem. Further more, there are several kernel thread and self-armed kernel work may still running after bch_cache_set_error() is called. It needs to wait quite a while for them to stop, or they won't stop at all. They also prevent the cache set from being retired. The solution in this patch is, to add per cache set flag to disable I/O request on this cache and all attached backing devices. Then new coming I/O requests can be rejected in *_make_request() before taking refcount, kernel threads and self-armed kernel worker can stop very fast when flags bit CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE is set. Because bcache also do internal I/Os for writeback, garbage collection, bucket allocation, journaling, this kind of I/O should be disabled after bch_cache_set_error() is called. So closure_bio_submit() is modified to check whether CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE is set on cache_set->flags. If set, closure_bio_submit() will set bio->bi_status to BLK_STS_IOERR and return, generic_make_request() won't be called. A sysfs interface is also added to set or clear CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE bit from cache_set->flags, to disable or enable cache set I/O for debugging. It is helpful to trigger more corner case issues for failed cache device. Changelog v4, add wait_for_kthread_stop(), and call it before exits writeback and gc kernel threads. v3, change CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE from 4 to 3, since it is bit index. remove "bcache: " prefix when printing out kernel message. v2, more changes by previous review, - Use CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE of cache_set->flags, suggested by Junhui. - Check CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE in bch_btree_gc() to stop a while-loop, this is reported and inspired from origal patch of Pavel Vazharov. v1, initial version.

Through further analysis, we found that in btree_flush_write(), we try to get a btree node with the smallest fifo idex to flush by traverse all the btree nodein c->bucket_hash, after we getting it, since no locker protects it, this btree node may have been written to cache device by other works, and if this occurred, we retry to traverse in c->bucket_hash and get another btree node. When the problem occurrd, the retry times is very high, and we consume a lot of CPU in looking for a appropriate btree node. In this patch, we try to record 128 btree nodes with the smallest fifo idex in heap, and pop one by one when we need to flush btree node. It greatly reduces the time for the loop to find the appropriate BTREE node, and also reduce the occupancy of CPU.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2017-10-16bcache: writeback rate shouldn't artifically clampMichael Lyle1-2/+2
The previous code artificially limited writeback rate to 1000000 blocks/second (NSEC_PER_MSEC), which is a rate that can be met on fast hardware. The rate limiting code works fine (though with decreased precision) up to 3 orders of magnitude faster, so use NSEC_PER_SEC. Additionally, ensure that uint32_t is used as a type for rate throughout the rate management so that type checking/clamp_t can work properly. bch_next_delay should be rewritten for increased precision and better handling of high rates and long sleep periods, but this is adequate for now.

2017-05-08treewide: use kv[mz]alloc* rather than opencoded variantsMichal Hocko1-10/+2
There are many code paths opencoding kvmalloc. Let's use the helper instead. The main difference to kvmalloc is that those users are usually not considering all the aspects of the memory allocator. E.g. allocation requests <= 32kB (with 4kB pages) are basically never failing and invoke OOM killer to satisfy the allocation. This sounds too disruptive for something that has a reasonable fallback - the vmalloc. On the other hand those requests might fallback to vmalloc even when the memory allocator would succeed after several more reclaim/compaction attempts previously. There is no guarantee something like that happens though. This patch converts many of those places to kv[mz]alloc* helpers because they are more conservative.

2013-09-24bcache: Fix a writeback performance regressionKent Overstreet1-3/+9
Background writeback works by scanning the btree for dirty data and adding those keys into a fixed size buffer, then for each dirty key in the keybuf writing it to the backing device. When read_dirty() finishes and it's time to scan for more dirty data, we need to wait for the outstanding writeback IO to finish - they still take up slots in the keybuf (so that foreground writes can check for them to avoid races) - without that wait, we'll continually rescan when we'll be able to add at most a key or two to the keybuf, and that takes locks that starves foreground IO.

Some of bcache's utility code has made it into the rest of the kernel, so drop the bcache versions. Bcache used to have a workaround for allocating from a bio set under generic_make_request() (if you allocated more than once, the bios you already allocated would get stuck on current->bio_list when you submitted, and you'd risk deadlock) - bcache would mask out __GFP_WAIT when allocating bios under generic_make_request() so that allocation could fail and it could retry from workqueue.

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.
