commit 695277f16b3a102fcc22c97fdf2de77c7b19f0b3 upstream.

This reverts commit 6147305c73e4511ca1a975b766b97a779d442567.

Although this patch helps the failed bcache device to stop faster when
too many I/O errors detected on corresponding cached device, setting
CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE bit to cache set c-&gt;flags was not a good idea. This
operation will disable all I/Os on cache set, which means other attached
bcache devices won't work neither.

Without this patch, the failed bcache device can also be stopped
eventually if internal I/O accomplished (e.g. writeback). Therefore here
I revert it.

[  101.691318][  T401] bcache: bcache_device_free() bcache0 stopped

Here is how the above potential deadlock may happen in reboot/shutdown
code path,
1) bcache_reboot() is called firstly in the reboot/shutdown code path,
   then in bcache_reboot(), bcache_device_stop() is called.
2) bcache_device_stop() sets BCACHE_DEV_CLOSING on d-&gt;falgs, then call
   closure_queue(&amp;d-&gt;cl) to invoke cached_dev_flush(). And in turn
   cached_dev_flush() calls cached_dev_free() via closure_at()
3) In cached_dev_free(), after stopped writebach kthread
   dc-&gt;writeback_thread, the kwork dc-&gt;writeback_write_wq is stopping by
   destroy_workqueue().
4) Inside destroy_workqueue(), drain_workqueue() is called. Inside
   drain_workqueue(), flush_workqueue() is called. Then wq-&gt;lockdep_map
   is acquired by lock_map_acquire() in flush_workqueue(). After the
   lock acquired the rest part of flush_workqueue() just wait for the
   workqueue to complete.
5) Now we look back at writeback thread routine bch_writeback_thread(),
   in the main while-loop, write_dirty() is called via continue_at() in
   read_dirty_submit(), which is called via continue_at() in while-loop
   level called function read_dirty(). Inside write_dirty() it may be
   re-called on workqueeu dc-&gt;writeback_write_wq via continue_at().
   It means when the writeback kthread is stopped in cached_dev_free()
   there might be still one kworker queued on dc-&gt;writeback_write_wq
   to execute write_dirty() again.
6) Now this kworker is scheduled on dc-&gt;writeback_write_wq to run by
   process_one_work() (which is called by worker_thread()). Before
   calling the kwork routine, wq-&gt;lockdep_map is acquired.
7) But wq-&gt;lockdep_map is acquired already in step 4), so a A-A lock
   (lockdep terminology) scenario happens.

Indeed on multiple cores syatem, the above deadlock is very rare to
happen, just as the code comments in process_one_work() says,
2263     * AFAICT there is no possible deadlock scenario between the
2264     * flush_work() and complete() primitives (except for
	   single-threaded
2265     * workqueues), so hiding them isn't a problem.

But it is still good to fix such lockdep warning, even no one running
bcache on single core system.

The fix is simple. This patch solves the above potential deadlock by,
- Do not destroy workqueue dc-&gt;writeback_write_wq in cached_dev_free().
- Flush and destroy dc-&gt;writeback_write_wq in writebach kthread routine
  bch_writeback_thread(), where after quit the thread main while-loop
  and before cached_dev_put() is called.

By this fix, dc-&gt;writeback_write_wq will be stopped and destroy before
the writeback kthread stopped, so the chance for a A-A locking on
wq-&gt;lockdep_map is disappeared, such A-A deadlock won't happen
any more.

[ Upstream commit b387e9b58679c60f5b1e4313939bd4878204fc37 ]

When system memory is in heavy pressure, bch_gc_thread_start() from
run_cache_set() may fail due to out of memory. In such condition,
c-&gt;gc_thread is assigned to -ENOMEM, not NULL pointer. Then in following
failure code path bch_cache_set_error(), when cache_set_flush() gets
called, the code piece to stop c-&gt;gc_thread is broken,
         if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(c-&gt;gc_thread))
                 kthread_stop(c-&gt;gc_thread);

And KASAN catches such NULL pointer deference problem, with the warning
information:

Therefore, it is not enough to only check whether c-&gt;gc_thread is NULL,
we should use IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to check both NULL pointer and error
value.

This patch changes the above buggy code piece in this way,
         if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(c-&gt;gc_thread))
                 kthread_stop(c-&gt;gc_thread);

[ 3142.970358][ T2649] bcache: bcache_device_free() bcache0 stopped

Here is how the deadlock happens.
1) bcache_reboot() calls bcache_device_stop(), then inside
   bcache_device_stop() BCACHE_DEV_CLOSING bit is set on d-&gt;flags.
   Then closure_queue(&amp;d-&gt;cl) is called to invoke cached_dev_flush().
2) In cached_dev_flush(), cached_dev_free() is called by continu_at().
3) In cached_dev_free(), when stopping the writeback kthread of the
   cached device by kthread_stop(), dc-&gt;writeback_thread will be waken
   up to quite the kthread while-loop, then cached_dev_put() is called
   in bch_writeback_thread().
4) Calling cached_dev_put() in writeback kthread may drop dc-&gt;count to
   0, then dc-&gt;detach kworker is scheduled, which is initialized as
   cached_dev_detach_finish().
5) Inside cached_dev_detach_finish(), the last line of code is to call
   closure_put(&amp;dc-&gt;disk.cl), which drops the last reference counter of
   closrure dc-&gt;disk.cl, then the callback cached_dev_flush() gets
   called.
Now cached_dev_flush() is called for second time in the code path, the
first time is in step 2). And again bch_register_lock will be acquired
again, and a A-A lock (lockdep terminology) is happening.

The root cause of the above A-A lock is in cached_dev_free(), mutex
bch_register_lock is held before stopping writeback kthread and other
kworkers. Fortunately now we have variable 'bcache_is_reboot', which may
prevent device registration or unregistration during reboot/shutdown
time, so it is unncessary to hold bch_register_lock such early now.

This is how this patch fixes the reboot/shutdown time A-A lock issue:
After moving mutex_lock(&amp;bch_register_lock) to a later location where
before atomic_read(&amp;dc-&gt;running) in cached_dev_free(), such A-A lock
problem can be solved without any reboot time registration race.

<title>bcache: add failure check to run_cache_set() for journal replay</title>

[ Upstream commit ce3e4cfb59cb382f8e5ce359238aa580d4ae7778 ]

Currently run_cache_set() has no return value, if there is failure in
bch_journal_replay(), the caller of run_cache_set() has no idea about
such failure and just continue to execute following code after
run_cache_set().  The internal failure is triggered inside
bch_journal_replay() and being handled in async way. This behavior is
inefficient, while failure handling inside bch_journal_replay(), cache
register code is still running to start the cache set. Registering and
unregistering code running as same time may introduce some rare race
condition, and make the code to be more hard to be understood.

This patch adds return value to run_cache_set(), and returns -EIO if
bch_journal_rreplay() fails. Then caller of run_cache_set() may detect
such failure and stop registering code flow immedidately inside
register_cache_set().

If journal replay fails, run_cache_set() can report error immediately
to register_cache_set(). This patch makes the failure handling for
bch_journal_replay() be in synchronized way, easier to understand and
debug, and avoid poetential race condition for register-and-unregister
in same time.

[ Upstream commit 95f18c9d1310730d075499a75aaf13bcd60405a7 ]

In the CACHE_SYNC branch of run_cache_set(), LIST_HEAD(journal) is used
to collect journal_replay(s) and filled by bch_journal_read().

If all goes well, bch_journal_replay() will release the list of
jounal_replay(s) at the end of the branch.

If something goes wrong, code flow will jump to the label "err:" and leave
the list unreleased.

This patch will release the list of journal_replay(s) in the case of
error detected.

v1 -&gt; v2:
* Move the release code to the location after label 'err:' to
  simply the change.

commit a4b732a248d12cbdb46999daf0bf288c011335eb upstream.

There is a race between cache device register and cache set unregister.
For an already registered cache device, register_bcache will call
bch_is_open to iterate through all cachesets and check every cache
there. The race occurs if cache_set_free executes at the same time and
clears the caches right before ca is dereferenced in bch_is_open_cache.
To close the race, let's make sure the clean up work is protected by
the bch_register_lock as well.

This issue can be reproduced as follows,
while true; do echo /dev/XXX&gt; /sys/fs/bcache/register ; done&amp;
while true; do echo 1&gt; /sys/block/XXX/bcache/set/unregister ; done &amp;

and results in the following oops,

There is a hunk of code that is indented one level too deep, fix this
by removing the extra tabs.

<title>bcache: make cutoff_writeback and cutoff_writeback_sync tunable</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9aaf51654672b16566c5fe787da3ca41ebf6d297</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently the cutoff writeback and cutoff writeback sync thresholds are
defined by CUTOFF_WRITEBACK (40) and CUTOFF_WRITEBACK_SYNC (70) as
static values. Most of time these they work fine, but when people want
to do research on bcache writeback mode performance tuning, there is no
chance to modify the soft and hard cutoff writeback values.

This patch introduces two module parameters bch_cutoff_writeback_sync
and bch_cutoff_writeback which permit people to tune the values when
loading bcache.ko. If they are not specified by module loading, current
values CUTOFF_WRITEBACK_SYNC and CUTOFF_WRITEBACK will be used as
default and nothing changes.

When people want to tune this two values,
- cutoff_writeback can be set in range [1, 70]
- cutoff_writeback_sync can be set in range [1, 90]
- cutoff_writeback always &lt;= cutoff_writeback_sync

The default values are strongly recommended to most of users for most of
workloads. Anyway, if people wants to take their own risk to do research
on new writeback cutoff tuning for their own workload, now they can make
it.

This patch moves MODULE_AUTHOR and MODULE_LICENSE to end of super.c, and
add MODULE_DESCRIPTION("Bcache: a Linux block layer cache").

This is preparation for adding module parameters.
