<title>bcache: fix cache_set_flush() NULL pointer dereference on OOM</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f8b11260a445169989d01df75d35af0f56178f95</id>
<content type='text'>
When bch_cache_set_alloc() fails to kzalloc the cache_set, the
asyncronous closure handling tries to dereference a cache_set that
hadn't yet been allocated inside of cache_set_flush() which is called
by __cache_set_unregister() during cleanup.  This appears to happen only
during an OOM condition on bcache_register.

<title>bcache: cleaned up error handling around register_cache()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9b299728ed777428b3908ac72ace5f8f84b97789</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix null pointer dereference by changing register_cache() to return an int
instead of being void.  This allows it to return -ENOMEM or -ENODEV and
enables upper layers to handle the OOM case without NULL pointer issues.

See this thread:
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.bcache.devel/3521

Fixes this error:

<content type='text'>
The bch_writeback_thread might BUG_ON in read_dirty() if
dc-&gt;sb==BDEV_STATE_DIRTY and bch_sectors_dirty_init has not yet completed
its related initialization.  This patch downs the dc-&gt;writeback_lock until
after initialization is complete, thus preventing bch_writeback_thread
from proceeding prematurely.

Allows to use register, not register_quiet in udev to avoid "device_busy" error.
The initial patch proposed at https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/26/549 by Gabriel de Perthuis
&lt;g2p.code@gmail.com&gt; does not unlock the mutex and hangs the kernel.

See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.bcache.devel/2594 for the discussion.

<id>urn:sha1:fecaee6f20ee122ad75402c53d8278f9bb142ddc</id>

This bug can be reproduced by the following script:

  #!/bin/bash

  bcache_sysfs="/sys/fs/bcache"

  function clear_cache()
  {
  	if [ ! -e $bcache_sysfs ]; then
  		echo "no bcache sysfs"
  		exit
  	fi

  	cset_uuid=$(ls -l $bcache_sysfs|head -n 2|tail -n 1|awk '{print $9}')
  	sudo sh -c "echo $cset_uuid &gt; /sys/block/sdb/sdb1/bcache/detach"
  	sleep 5
  	sudo sh -c "echo $cset_uuid &gt; /sys/block/sdb/sdb1/bcache/attach"
  }

  for ((i=0;i&lt;10;i++)); do
  	clear_cache
  done

We forget to clear BCACHE_DEV_UNLINK_DONE flag in bcache_device_attach()
function when we attach a backing device first time.  After detaching this
backing device, this flag will be true and sysfs_remove_link() isn't called in
bcache_device_unlink().  Then when we attach this backing device again,
sysfs_create_link() will return EEXIST error in bcache_device_link().

So the fix is trival and we clear this flag in bcache_device_link().

The bcache driver has always accepted arbitrarily large bios and split
them internally.  Now that every driver must accept arbitrarily large
bios this code isn't nessecary anymore.

<title>block: add a bi_error field to struct bio</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4246a0b63bd8f56a1469b12eafeb875b1041a451</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:

 (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
 (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback

The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario.  Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.

So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

Some drivers use it now, others just set the limits field manually.
But in preparation for splitting this into a hard and soft limit,
ensure that they all call the proper function for setting the hw
limit for discards.
