      block: mq-deadline: Fix write completion handling · 7211aef8
      Damien Le Moal authored
      For a zoned block device using mq-deadline, if a write request for a
      zone is received while another write was already dispatched for the same
      zone, dd_dispatch_request() will return NULL and the newly inserted
      write request is kept in the scheduler queue waiting for the ongoing
      zone write to complete. With this behavior, when no other request has
      been dispatched, rq_list in blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests() is empty
      and blk_mq_sched_mark_restart_hctx() not called. This in turn leads to
      __blk_mq_free_request() call of blk_mq_sched_restart() to not run the
      queue when the already dispatched write request completes. The newly
      dispatched request stays stuck in the scheduler queue until eventually
      another request is submitted.
      
      This problem does not affect SCSI disk as the SCSI stack handles queue
      restart on request completion. However, this problem is can be triggered
      the nullblk driver with zoned mode enabled.
      
      Fix this by always requesting a queue restart in dd_dispatch_request()
      if no request was dispatched while WRITE requests are queued.

      bcache: set writeback_percent in a flexible range · cc38ca7e
      Coly Li authored
      
      
      Because CUTOFF_WRITEBACK is defined as 40, so before the changes of
      dynamic cutoff writeback values, writeback_percent is limited to [0,
      CUTOFF_WRITEBACK]. Any value larger than CUTOFF_WRITEBACK will be fixed
      up to 40.
      
      Now cutof writeback limit is a dynamic value bch_cutoff_writeback, so
      the range of writeback_percent can be a more flexible range as [0,
      bch_cutoff_writeback]. The flexibility is, it can be expended to a
      larger or smaller range than [0, 40], depends on how value
      bch_cutoff_writeback is specified.
      
      The default value is still strongly recommended to most of users for
      most of workloads. But for people who want to do research on bcache
      writeback perforamnce tuning, they may have chance to specify more
      flexible writeback_percent in range [0, 70].

      bcache: make cutoff_writeback and cutoff_writeback_sync tunable · 9aaf5165
      Coly Li authored
      
      
      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 <= 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.

      bcache: option to automatically run gc thread after writeback · 7a671d8e
      Coly Li authored
      
      
      The option gc_after_writeback is disabled by default, because garbage
      collection will discard SSD data which drops cached data.
      
      Echo 1 into /sys/fs/bcache/<UUID>/internal/gc_after_writeback will
      enable this option, which wakes up gc thread when writeback accomplished
      and all cached data is clean.
      
      This option is helpful for people who cares writing performance more. In
      heavy writing workload, all cached data can be clean only happens when
      writeback thread cleans all cached data in I/O idle time. In such
      situation a following gc running may help to shrink bcache B+ tree and
      discard more clean data, which may be helpful for future writing
      requests.
      
      If you are not sure whether this is helpful for your own workload,
      please leave it as disabled by default.

      Coly Li authored

      force_wake_up_gc() sets c->sectors_to_gc to -1 before calling
      wake_up_gc(), then gc thread may have chance to run if no one else sets
      c->sectors_to_gc to a positive value before gc_should_run().
      
      This routine can be called where the gc thread is woken up and required

      bcache: do not mark writeback_running too early · 79b79146
      Shenghui Wang authored
      
      
      A fresh backing device is not attached to any cache_set, and
      has no writeback kthread created until first attached to some
      cache_set.
      
      But bch_cached_dev_writeback_init run
      "
      	dc->writeback_running		= true;
      	WARN_ON(test_and_clear_bit(BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING,
      			&dc->disk.flags));
      "
      for any newly formatted backing devices.
      
      For a fresh standalone backing device, we can get something like
      following even if no writeback kthread created:
      ------------------------
      /sys/block/bcache0/bcache# cat writeback_running
      1
      /sys/block/bcache0/bcache# cat writeback_rate_debug
      rate:		512.0k/sec
      dirty:		0.0k
      target:		0.0k

      integral:	0.0k
      change:		0.0k/sec
      next io:	-15427384ms
      
      The none ZERO fields are misleading as no alive writeback kthread yet.
      
      Set dc->writeback_running false as no writeback thread created in
      bch_cached_dev_writeback_init().
      
      We have writeback thread created and woken up in bch_cached_dev_writeback
      _start(). Set dc->writeback_running true before bch_writeback_queue()
      called, as a writeback thread will check if dc->writeback_running is true
      before writing back dirty data, and hung if false detected.
      
      After the change, we can get the following output for a fresh standalone
      backing device:
      -----------------------
      /sys/block/bcache0/bcache$ cat writeback_running
      0
      /sys/block/bcache0/bcache# cat writeback_rate_debug

      bcache: add comment for cache_set->fill_iter · d2f96f48
      Shenghui Wang authored
      
      
      We have the following define for btree iterator:
      	struct btree_iter {
      		size_t size, used;
      	#ifdef CONFIG_BCACHE_DEBUG
      		struct btree_keys *b;
      	#endif
      		struct btree_iter_set {
      			struct bkey *k, *end;
      		} data[MAX_BSETS];
      	};
      
      We can see that the length of data[] field is static MAX_BSETS, which is
      defined as 4 currently.
      
      But a btree node on disk could have too many bsets for an iterator to fit
      on the stack - maybe far more that MAX_BSETS. Have to dynamically allocate
      space to host more btree_iter_sets.
      
      bch_cache_set_alloc() will make sure the pool cache_set->fill_iter can
      allocate an iterator equipped with enough room that can host
      	(sb.bucket_size / sb.block_size)
      btree_iter_sets, which is more than static MAX_BSETS.
      
      bch_btree_node_read_done() will use that pool to allocate one iterator, to
      host many bsets in one btree node.
      
      Add more comment around cache_set->fill_iter to make code less confusing.
