Kent Overstreet d4e3b928ab closures: CLOSURE_CALLBACK() to fix type punning
Control flow integrity is now checking that type signatures match on
indirect function calls. That breaks closures, which embed a work_struct
in a closure in such a way that a closure_fn may also be used as a
workqueue fn by the underlying closure code.

So we have to change closure fns to take a work_struct as their
argument - but that results in a loss of clarity, as closure fns have
different semantics from normal workqueue functions (they run owning a
ref on the closure, which must be released with continue_at() or
closure_return()).

Thus, this patc introduces CLOSURE_CALLBACK() and closure_type() macros
as suggested by Kees, to smooth things over a bit.

Kees Cook be0d8f48ad bcache: Silence memcpy() run-time false positive warnings
struct bkey has internal padding in a union, but it isn't always named
the same (e.g. key ## _pad, key_p, etc). This makes it extremely hard
for the compiler to reason about the available size of copies done
against such keys. Use unsafe_memcpy() for now, to silence the many
run-time false positive warnings:

  memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 264) of single field "&i->j" at drivers/md/bcache/journal.c:152 (size 240)
  memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 24) of single field "&b->key" at drivers/md/bcache/btree.c:939 (size 16)
  memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 24) of single field "&temp.key" at drivers/md/bcache/extents.c:428 (size 16)

Coly Li 32feee36c3 bcache: avoid journal no-space deadlock by reserving 1 journal bucket
The journal no-space deadlock was reported time to time. Such deadlock
can happen in the following situation.

When all journal buckets are fully filled by active jset with heavy
write I/O load, the cache set registration (after a reboot) will load
all active jsets and inserting them into the btree again (which is
called journal replay). If a journaled bkey is inserted into a btree
node and results btree node split, new journal request might be
triggered. For example, the btree grows one more level after the node
split, then the root node record in cache device super block will be
upgrade by bch_journal_meta() from bch_btree_set_root(). But there is no
space in journal buckets, the journal replay has to wait for new journal
bucket to be reclaimed after at least one journal bucket replayed. This
is one example that how the journal no-space deadlock happens.

The solution to avoid the deadlock is to reserve 1 journal bucket in
run time, and only permit the reserved journal bucket to be used during
cache set registration procedure for things like journal replay. Then
the journal space will never be fully filled, there is no chance for
journal no-space deadlock to happen anymore.

This patch adds a new member "bool do_reserve" in struct journal, it is
inititalized to 0 (false) when struct journal is allocated, and set to
1 (true) by bch_journal_space_reserve() when all initialization done in
run_cache_set(). In the run time when journal_reclaim() tries to
allocate a new journal bucket, free_journal_buckets() is called to check
whether there are enough free journal buckets to use. If there is only
1 free journal bucket and journal->do_reserve is 1 (true), the last
bucket is reserved and free_journal_buckets() will return 0 to indicate
no free journal bucket. Then journal_reclaim() will give up, and try
next time to see whetheer there is free journal bucket to allocate. By
this method, there is always 1 jouranl bucket reserved in run time.

During the cache set registration, journal->do_reserve is 0 (false), so
the reserved journal bucket can be used to avoid the no-space deadlock.

Coly Li ff2695e52c bcache: put bch_bio_map() back to correct location in journal_write_unlocked()
Commit a7c50c9404 ("block: pass a block_device and opf to bio_reset")
moves bch_bio_map() inside journal_write_unlocked() next to the location
where the modified bio_reset() was called.

This change is wrong because calling bch_bio_map() immediately after
bio_reset(), a BUG_ON(!bio->bi_iter.bi_size) inside bch_bio_map() will
be triggered and panic the kernel.

This patch puts bch_bio_map() back to its original correct location in
journal_write_unlocked() and avoid the BUG_ON().

Kai Krakow afe78ab46f bcache: Move journal work to new flush wq
This is potentially long running and not latency sensitive, let's get
it out of the way of other latency sensitive events.

As observed in the previous commit, the `system_wq` comes easily
congested by bcache, and this fixes a few more stalls I was observing
every once in a while.

Let's not make this `WQ_MEM_RECLAIM` as it showed to reduce performance
of boot and file system operations in my tests. Also, without
`WQ_MEM_RECLAIM`, I no longer see desktop stalls. This matches the
previous behavior as `system_wq` also does no memory reclaim:

> // workqueue.c:
> system_wq = alloc_workqueue("events", 0, 0);

Coly Li 4a784266c6 bcache: remove embedded struct cache_sb from struct cache_set
Since bcache code was merged into mainline kerrnel, each cache set only
as one single cache in it. The multiple caches framework is here but the
code is far from completed. Considering the multiple copies of cached
data can also be stored on e.g. md raid1 devices, it is unnecessary to
support multiple caches in one cache set indeed.

The previous preparation patches fix the dependencies of explicitly
making a cache set only have single cache. Now we don't have to maintain
an embedded partial super block in struct cache_set, the in-memory super
block can be directly referenced from struct cache.

This patch removes the embedded struct cache_sb from struct cache_set,
and fixes all locations where the superb lock was referenced from this
removed super block by referencing the in-memory super block of struct
cache.

Coly Li 2aa8c52938 bcache: avoid unnecessary btree nodes flushing in btree_flush_write()
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.

Coly Li dff90d58a1 bcache: add reclaimed_journal_buckets to struct cache_set
Now we have counters for how many times jouranl is reclaimed, how many
times cached dirty btree nodes are flushed, but we don't know how many
jouranl buckets are really reclaimed.

This patch adds reclaimed_journal_buckets into struct cache_set, this
is an increasing only counter, to tell how many journal buckets are
reclaimed since cache set runs. From all these three counters (reclaim,
reclaimed_journal_buckets, flush_write), we can have idea how well
current journal space reclaim code works.

Coly Li 91be66e131 bcache: performance improvement for btree_flush_write()
This patch improves performance for btree_flush_write() in following
ways,
- Use another spinlock journal.flush_write_lock to replace the very
  hot journal.lock. We don't have to use journal.lock here, selecting
  candidate btree nodes takes a lot of time, hold journal.lock here will
  block other jouranling threads and drop the overall I/O performance.
- Only select flushing btree node from c->btree_cache list. When the
  machine has a large system memory, mca cache may have a huge number of
  cached btree nodes. Iterating all the cached nodes will take a lot
  of CPU time, and most of the nodes on c->btree_cache_freeable and
  c->btree_cache_freed lists are cleared and have need to flush. So only
  travel mca list c->btree_cache to select flushing btree node should be
  enough for most of the cases.
- Don't iterate whole c->btree_cache list, only reversely select first
  BTREE_FLUSH_NR btree nodes to flush. Iterate all btree nodes from
  c->btree_cache and select the oldest journal pin btree nodes consumes
  huge number of CPU cycles if the list is huge (push and pop a node
  into/out of a heap is expensive). The last several dirty btree nodes
  on the tail of c->btree_cache list are earlest allocated and cached
  btree nodes, they are relative to the oldest journal pin btree nodes.
  Therefore only flushing BTREE_FLUSH_NR btree nodes from tail of
  c->btree_cache probably includes the oldest journal pin btree nodes.

In my testing, the above change decreases 50%+ CPU consumption when
journal space is full. Some times IOPS drops to 0 for 5-8 seconds,
comparing blocking I/O for 120+ seconds in previous code, this is much
better. Maybe there is room to improve in future, but at this momment
the fix looks fine and performs well in my testing.

Coly Li 50a260e859 bcache: fix race in btree_flush_write()
There is a race between mca_reap(), btree_node_free() and journal code
btree_flush_write(), which results very rare and strange deadlock or
panic and are very hard to reproduce.

Let me explain how the race happens. In btree_flush_write() one btree
node with oldest journal pin is selected, then it is flushed to cache
device, the select-and-flush is a two steps operation. Between these two
steps, there are something may happen inside the race window,
- The selected btree node was reaped by mca_reap() and allocated to
  other requesters for other btree node.
- The slected btree node was selected, flushed and released by mca
  shrink callback bch_mca_scan().
When btree_flush_write() tries to flush the selected btree node, firstly
b->write_lock is held by mutex_lock(). If the race happens and the
memory of selected btree node is allocated to other btree node, if that
btree node's write_lock is held already, a deadlock very probably
happens here. A worse case is the memory of the selected btree node is
released, then all references to this btree node (e.g. b->write_lock)
will trigger NULL pointer deference panic.

This race was introduced in commit cafe563591 ("bcache: A block layer
cache"), and enlarged by commit c4dc2497d5 ("bcache: fix high CPU
occupancy during journal"), which selected 128 btree nodes and flushed
them one-by-one in a quite long time period.

Such race is not easy to reproduce before. On a Lenovo SR650 server with
48 Xeon cores, and configure 1 NVMe SSD as cache device, a MD raid0
device assembled by 3 NVMe SSDs as backing device, this race can be
observed around every 10,000 times btree_flush_write() gets called. Both
deadlock and kernel panic all happened as aftermath of the race.

The idea of the fix is to add a btree flag BTREE_NODE_journal_flush. It
is set when selecting btree nodes, and cleared after btree nodes
flushed. Then when mca_reap() selects a btree node with this bit set,
this btree node will be skipped. Since mca_reap() only reaps btree node
without BTREE_NODE_journal_flush flag, such race is avoided.

Once corner case should be noticed, that is btree_node_free(). It might
be called in some error handling code path. For example the following
code piece from btree_split(),
        2149 err_free2:
        2150         bkey_put(b->c, &n2->key);
        2151         btree_node_free(n2);
        2152         rw_unlock(true, n2);
        2153 err_free1:
        2154         bkey_put(b->c, &n1->key);
        2155         btree_node_free(n1);
        2156         rw_unlock(true, n1);
At line 2151 and 2155, the btree node n2 and n1 are released without
mac_reap(), so BTREE_NODE_journal_flush also needs to be checked here.
If btree_node_free() is called directly in such error handling path,
and the selected btree node has BTREE_NODE_journal_flush bit set, just
delay for 1 us and retry again. In this case this btree node won't
be skipped, just retry until the BTREE_NODE_journal_flush bit cleared,
and free the btree node memory.

2057493-2057567 missing! (replaying 2057493-2076601), disabling
caching

The reason is in journal_reclaim(), when discard is enabled, we send
discard command and reclaim those journal buckets whose seq is old
than the last_seq_now, but before we write a journal with last_seq_now,
the machine is restarted, so the journal with the last_seq_now is not
written to the journal bucket, and the last_seq_wrote in the newest
journal is old than last_seq_now which we expect to be, so when we doing
replay, journals from last_seq_wrote to last_seq_now are missing.

It's hard to write a journal immediately after journal_reclaim(),
and it harmless if those missed journal are caused by discarding
since those journals are already wrote to btree node. So, if miss
seqs are started from the beginning journal, we treat it as normal,
and only print a message to show the miss journal, and point out
it maybe caused by discarding.

Patch v2 add a judgement condition to ignore the missed journal
only when discard enabled as Coly suggested.

Coly Li 68d10e6979 bcache: return error immediately in bch_journal_replay()
When failure happens inside bch_journal_replay(), calling
cache_set_err_on() and handling the failure in async way is not a good
idea. Because after bch_journal_replay() returns, registering code will
continue to execute following steps, and unregistering code triggered
by cache_set_err_on() is running in same time. First it is unnecessary
to handle failure and unregister cache set in an async way, second there
might be potential race condition to run register and unregister code
for same cache set.

So in this patch, if failure happens in bch_journal_replay(), we don't
call cache_set_err_on(), and just print out the same error message to
kernel message buffer, then return -EIO immediately caller. Then caller
can detect such failure and handle it in synchrnozied way.

Coly Li 1bee2addc0 bcache: never set KEY_PTRS of journal key to 0 in journal_reclaim()
In journal_reclaim() ja->cur_idx of each cache will be update to
reclaim available journal buckets. Variable 'int n' is used to count how
many cache is successfully reclaimed, then n is set to c->journal.key
by SET_KEY_PTRS(). Later in journal_write_unlocked(), a for_each_cache()
loop will write the jset data onto each cache.

The problem is, if all jouranl buckets on each cache is full, the
following code in journal_reclaim(),

529 for_each_cache(ca, c, iter) {
530       struct journal_device *ja = &ca->journal;
531       unsigned int next = (ja->cur_idx + 1) % ca->sb.njournal_buckets;
532
533       /* No space available on this device */
534       if (next == ja->discard_idx)
535               continue;
536
537       ja->cur_idx = next;
538       k->ptr[n++] = MAKE_PTR(0,
539                         bucket_to_sector(c, ca->sb.d[ja->cur_idx]),
540                         ca->sb.nr_this_dev);
541 }
542
543 bkey_init(k);
544 SET_KEY_PTRS(k, n);

If there is no available bucket to reclaim, the if() condition at line
534 will always true, and n remains 0. Then at line 544, SET_KEY_PTRS()
will set KEY_PTRS field of c->journal.key to 0.

Setting KEY_PTRS field of c->journal.key to 0 is wrong. Because in
journal_write_unlocked() the journal data is written in following loop,

649	for (i = 0; i < KEY_PTRS(k); i++) {
650-671		submit journal data to cache device
672	}

If KEY_PTRS field is set to 0 in jouranl_reclaim(), the journal data
won't be written to cache device here. If system crahed or rebooted
before bkeys of the lost journal entries written into btree nodes, data
corruption will be reported during bcache reload after rebooting the
system.

Indeed there is only one cache in a cache set, there is no need to set
KEY_PTRS field in journal_reclaim() at all. But in order to keep the
for_each_cache() logic consistent for now, this patch fixes the above
problem by not setting 0 KEY_PTRS of journal key, if there is no bucket
available to reclaim.

Coly Li 771f393e8f bcache: add CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE to struct cache_set flags
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.

The kernel work consumed a lot of CPU, and I found they are running journal
work, The journal is reclaiming source and flush btree node with surprising
frequency.

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.

[note by mpl: this triggers a checkpatch error because of adjacent,
pre-existing style violations]

Tang Junhui a728eacbbd bcache: add journal statistic
Sometimes, Journal takes up a lot of CPU, we need statistics
to know what's the journal is doing. So this patch provide
some journal statistics:
1) reclaim: how many times the journal try to reclaim resource,
   usually the journal bucket or/and the pin are exhausted.
2) flush_write: how many times the journal try to flush btree node
   to cache device, usually the journal bucket are exhausted.
3) retry_flush_write: how many times the journal retry to flush
   the next btree node, usually the previous tree node have been
   flushed by other thread.
we show these statistic by sysfs interface. Through these statistics
We can totally see the status of journal module when the CPU is too
high.

Huacai Chen cf33c1ee52 bcache: Fix building error on MIPS
This patch try to fix the building error on MIPS. The reason is MIPS
has already defined the PTR macro, which conflicts with the PTR macro
in include/uapi/linux/bcache.h.

Tang Junhui bb22cafd75 bcache: add a comment in journal bucket reading
Journal bucket is a circular buffer, the bucket
can be like YYYNNNYY, which means the first valid journal in
the 7th bucket, and the latest valid journal in third bucket, in
this case, if we do not try we the zero index first, We
may get a valid journal in the 7th bucket, then we call
find_next_bit(bitmap,ca->sb.njournal_buckets, l + 1) to get the
first invalid bucket after the 7th bucket, because all these
buckets is valid, so no bit 1 in bitmap, thus find_next_bit()
function would return with ca->sb.njournal_buckets (8). So, after
that, bcache only read journal in 7th and 8the bucket,
the first to the third buckets are lost.

So, it is important to let developer know that, we need to try
the zero index at first in the hash-search, and avoid any breaks
in future's code modification.
