<id>urn:sha1:038ba8cc1bffc51250add4a9b9249d4331576d8f</id>
<content type='text'>
In year 2007 high performance SSD was still expensive, in order to
save more space for real workload or meta data, the readahead I/Os
for non-meta data was bypassed and not cached on SSD.

In now days, SSD price drops a lot and people can find larger size
SSD with more comfortable price. It is unncessary to alway bypass
normal readahead I/Os to save SSD space for now.

This patch adds options for readahead data cache policies via sysfs
file /sys/block/bcache&lt;N&gt;/readahead_cache_policy, the options are,
- "all": cache all readahead data I/Os.
- "meta-only": only cache meta data, and bypass other regular I/Os.

If users want to make bcache continue to only cache readahead request
for metadata and bypass regular data readahead, please set "meta-only"
to this sysfs file. By default, bcache will back to cache all read-
ahead requests now.

<id>urn:sha1:c5fcdedcee4e6ae15c0eb5e0fbe25467e57d2963</id>
<content type='text'>
For writeback mode, if there is no regular I/O request for a while,
the writeback rate will be set to the maximum value (1TB/s for now).
This is good for most of the storage workload, but there are still
people don't what the maximum writeback rate in I/O idle time.

This patch adds a sysfs interface file idle_max_writeback_rate to
permit people to disable maximum writeback rate. Then the minimum
writeback rate can be advised by writeback_rate_minimum in the
bcache device's sysfs interface.

The simplest way to fix is to revert commit 89e0341af082 ("bcache: use
sysfs_match_string() instead of __sysfs_match_string()").

This bug was introduced in Linux v5.2, so this fix only applies to
Linux v5.2 is enough for stable tree maintainer.

<content type='text'>
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.

In struct cache_set, retry_flush_write is added for commit c4dc2497d50d
("bcache: fix high CPU occupancy during journal") which is reverted in
previous patch.

Now it is useless anymore, and this patch removes it from bcache code.

<title>bcache: avoid a deadlock in bcache_reboot()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a59ff6ccc2bf2e2934b31bbf734f0bc04b5ec78a</id>
<content type='text'>
It is quite frequently to observe deadlock in bcache_reboot() happens
and hang the system reboot process. The reason is, in bcache_reboot()
when calling bch_cache_set_stop() and bcache_device_stop() the mutex
bch_register_lock is held. But in the process to stop cache set and
bcache device, bch_register_lock will be acquired again. If this mutex
is held here, deadlock will happen inside the stopping process. The
aftermath of the deadlock is, whole system reboot gets hung.

The fix is to avoid holding bch_register_lock for the following loops
in bcache_reboot(),
       list_for_each_entry_safe(c, tc, &amp;bch_cache_sets, list)
                bch_cache_set_stop(c);

        list_for_each_entry_safe(dc, tdc, &amp;uncached_devices, list)
                bcache_device_stop(&amp;dc-&gt;disk);

A module range variable 'bcache_is_reboot' is added, it sets to true
in bcache_reboot(). In register_bcache(), if bcache_is_reboot is checked
to be true, reject the registration by returning -EBUSY immediately.

In bch_cached_dev_files[] from driver/md/bcache/sysfs.c, sysfs_errors is
incorrectly inserted in. The correct entry should be sysfs_io_errors.

This patch fixes the problem and now I/O errors of cached device can be
read from /sys/block/bcache&lt;N&gt;/bcache/io_errors.
