<id>urn:sha1:092bd54d69230b4a4a7f640a4cdcdeb004d3546e</id>
<content type='text'>
The following three sysfs files are created to display according feature
set information of bcache:
	/sys/fs/bcache/&lt;cache set UUID&gt;/internal/feature_compat
	/sys/fs/bcache/&lt;cache set UUID&gt;/internal/feature_ro_compat
	/sys/fs/bcache/&lt;cache set UUID&gt;/internal/feature_incompat
is added by this patch, to display feature sets information of the cache
set.

Now only an incompat feature 'large_bucket' added in bcache, the sysfs
file content is:
        [large_bucket]
string large_bucket means the running bcache drive supports incompat
feature 'large_bucket', the wrapping [] means the 'large_bucket' feature
is currently enabled on this cache set.

This patch is ready to display compat and ro_compat features, in future
once bcache code implements such feature sets, the according feature
strings will be displayed in their sysfs files too.

<title>bcache: Convert pr_&lt;level&gt; uses to a more typical style</title>

<content type='text'>
Remove the trailing newline from the define of pr_fmt and add newlines
to the uses.

Miscellanea:

o Convert bch_bkey_dump from multiple uses of pr_err to pr_cont
  as the earlier conversion was inappropriate done causing multiple
  lines to be emitted where only a single output line was desired
o Use vsprintf extension %pV in bch_cache_set_error to avoid multiple
  line output where only a single line output was desired
o Coalesce formats

Fixes: 6ae63e3501c4 ("bcache: replace printk() by pr_*() routines")

<content type='text'>
Since snprintf() returns the would-be-output size instead of the
actual output size, the succeeding calls may go beyond the given
buffer limit.  Fix it by replacing with scnprintf().

<title>bcache: add readahead cache policy options via sysfs interface</title>

<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.

<content type='text'>
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.
