2013-12-16bcache: bugfix for race between moving_gc and bucket_invalidateKent Overstreet
There is a possibility for a bucket to be invalidated by the allocator while moving_gc was copying it's contents to another bucket, if the bucket only held cached data. To prevent this moving checks for a stale ptr (to an invalidated bucket), before and after reads. It it finds one, it simply ignores moving that data. This only affects bcache if the moving_gc was turned on, note that it's off by default. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Swenson <nks@daterainc.com> Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
2013-12-16bcache: bugfix - moving_gc now moves only correct bucketsNicholas Swenson
Removed gc_move_threshold because picking buckets only by threshold could lead moving extra buckets (ei. if there are buckets at the threshold that aren't supposed to be moved do to space considerations). This is replaced by a GC_MOVE bit in the gc_mark bitmask. Now only marked buckets get moved. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Swenson <nks@daterainc.com> Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>

2013-11-10bcache: Break up struct searchKent Overstreet
With all the recent refactoring around struct btree op struct search has gotten rather large. But we can now easily break it up in a different way - we break out struct btree_insert_op which is for inserting data into the cache, and that's now what the copying gc code uses - struct search is now specific to request.c Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
2013-11-10bcache: Don't use op->insert_collisionKent Overstreet
When we convert bch_btree_insert() to bch_btree_map_leaf_nodes(), we won't be passing struct btree_op to bch_btree_insert() anymore - so we need a different way of returning whether there was a collision (really, a replace collision). Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
2013-11-10bcache: Kill op->replaceKent Overstreet
This is prep work for converting bch_btree_insert to bch_btree_map_leaf_nodes() - we have to convert all its arguments to actual arguments. Bunch of churn, but should be straightforward. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
2013-11-10bcache: Kill op->clKent Overstreet
This isn't used for waiting asynchronously anymore - so this is a fairly trivial refactoring. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
2013-11-10bcache: Prune struct btree_opKent Overstreet
Eventual goal is for struct btree_op to contain only what is necessary for traversing the btree. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
2013-11-10bcache: Convert gc to a kthreadKent Overstreet
We needed a dedicated rescuer workqueue for gc anyways... and gc was conceptually a dedicated thread, just one that wasn't running all the time. Switch it to a dedicated thread to make the code a bit more straightforward. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
2013-11-10bcache: Refactor journalling flow controlKent Overstreet
Making things less asynchronous that don't need to be - bch_journal() only has to block when the journal or journal entry is full, which is emphatically not a fast path. So make it a normal function that just returns when it finishes, to make the code and control flow easier to follow. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
2013-11-10bcache: Fix a lockdep splatKent Overstreet
bch_keybuf_del() takes a spinlock that can't be taken in interrupt context - whoops. Fortunately, this code isn't enabled by default (you have to toggle a sysfs thing). Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
2013-07-01bcache: Use standard utility codeKent Overstreet
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. But bio_alloc_bioset() has a workaround now, so we can drop this hack and the associated error handling. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <koverstreet@google.com>
2013-06-26bcache: Write out full stripesKent Overstreet
Now that we're tracking dirty data per stripe, we can add two optimizations for raid5/6: * If a stripe is already dirty, force writes to that stripe to writeback mode - to help build up full stripes of dirty data * When flushing dirty data, preferentially write out full stripes first if there are any.

2013-06-26bcache: Fix/revamp tracepointsKent Overstreet
The tracepoints were reworked to be more sensible, and fixed a null pointer deref in one of the tracepoints. 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.

2013-03-23bcache: A block layer cacheKent Overstreet
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>
