For read cache missing, bcache defines a readahead size for the read I/O
request to the backing device for the missing data. This readahead size
is initialized to 0, and almost no one uses it to avoid unnecessary read
amplifying onto backing device and write amplifying onto cache device.
Considering upper layer file system code has readahead logic allready
and works fine with readahead_cache_policy sysfile interface, we don't
have to keep bcache self-defined readahead anymore.
This patch removes the bcache self-defined readahead for cache missing
request for backing device, and the readahead sysfs file interfaces are
removed as well.
This is the preparation for next patch to fix potential kernel panic due
to oversized request in a simpler method.

Current way to calculate the writeback rate only considered the
dirty sectors, this usually works fine when the fragmentation
is not high, but it will give us unreasonable small rate when
we are under a situation that very few dirty sectors consumed
a lot dirty buckets. In some case, the dirty bucekts can reached
to CUTOFF_WRITEBACK_SYNC while the dirty data(sectors) not even
reached the writeback_percent, the writeback rate will still
be the minimum value (4k), thus it will cause all the writes to be
stucked in a non-writeback mode because of the slow writeback.
We accelerate the rate in 3 stages with different aggressiveness,
the first stage starts when dirty buckets percent reach above
BCH_WRITEBACK_FRAGMENT_THRESHOLD_LOW (50), the second is
BCH_WRITEBACK_FRAGMENT_THRESHOLD_MID (57), the third is
BCH_WRITEBACK_FRAGMENT_THRESHOLD_HIGH (64). By default
the first stage tries to writeback the amount of dirty data
in one bucket (on average) in (1 / (dirty_buckets_percent - 50)) second,
the second stage tries to writeback the amount of dirty data in one bucket
in (1 / (dirty_buckets_percent - 57)) * 100 millisecond, the third
stage tries to writeback the amount of dirty data in one bucket in
(1 / (dirty_buckets_percent - 64)) millisecond.
the initial rate at each stage can be controlled by 3 configurable
parameters writeback_rate_fp_term_{low|mid|high}, they are by default
1, 10, 1000, the hint of IO throughput that these values are trying
to achieve is described by above paragraph, the reason that
I choose those value as default is based on the testing and the
production data, below is some details:
A. When it comes to the low stage, there is still a bit far from the 70
threshold, so we only want to give it a little bit push by setting the
term to 1, it means the initial rate will be 170 if the fragment is 6,
it is calculated by bucket_size/fragment, this rate is very small,
but still much reasonable than the minimum 8.
For a production bcache with unheavy workload, if the cache device
is bigger than 1 TB, it may take hours to consume 1% buckets,
so it is very possible to reclaim enough dirty buckets in this stage,
thus to avoid entering the next stage.
B. If the dirty buckets ratio didn't turn around during the first stage,
it comes to the mid stage, then it is necessary for mid stage
to be more aggressive than low stage, so i choose the initial rate
to be 10 times more than low stage, that means 1700 as the initial
rate if the fragment is 6. This is some normal rate
we usually see for a normal workload when writeback happens
because of writeback_percent.
C. If the dirty buckets ratio didn't turn around during the low and mid
stages, it comes to the third stage, and it is the last chance that
we can turn around to avoid the horrible cutoff writeback sync issue,
then we choose 100 times more aggressive than the mid stage, that
means 170000 as the initial rate if the fragment is 6. This is also
inferred from a production bcache, I've got one week's writeback rate
data from a production bcache which has quite heavy workloads,
again, the writeback is triggered by the writeback percent,
the highest rate area is around 100000 to 240000, so I believe this
kind aggressiveness at this stage is reasonable for production.
And it should be mostly enough because the hint is trying to reclaim
1000 bucket per second, and from that heavy production env,
it is consuming 50 bucket per second on average in one week's data.
Option writeback_consider_fragment is to control whether we want
this feature to be on or off, it's on by default.
Lastly, below is the performance data for all the testing result,
including the data from production env:

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<N>/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.

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

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

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, &bch_cache_sets, list)
bch_cache_set_stop(c);
list_for_each_entry_safe(dc, tdc, &uncached_devices, list)
bcache_device_stop(&dc->disk);

When people set a writeback percent via sysfs file,

current code directly sets BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING to dc->disk.flags
and schedules kworker dc->writeback_rate_update.
If there is no cache set attached to, the writeback kernel thread is
not running indeed, running dc->writeback_rate_update does not make
sense and may cause NULL pointer deference when reference cache set
pointer inside update_writeback_rate().
This patch checks whether the cache set point (dc->disk.c) is NULL in
sysfs interface handler, and only set BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING and
schedule dc->writeback_rate_update when dc->disk.c is not NULL (it
means the cache device is attached to a cache set).

When setting bcache parameters via sysfs, there are some variables are
defined as bit-field value. Current bcache code in sysfs.c uses either
d_strtoul() or sysfs_strtoul() to convert the input string to unsigned
integer value and set it to the corresponded bit-field value.
The problem is, the bit-field value only takes the lowest bit of the
converted value. If input is 2, the expected value (like bool value)
of the bit-field value should be 1, but indeed it is 0.
The following sysfs files for bit-field variables have such problem,

This patch uses sysfs_strtoul_bool() to set such bit-field variables,
then if the converted value is non-zero, the bit-field variables will
be set to 1, like setting a bool value like expensive_debug_checks.

People may set sequential_cutoff of a cached device via sysfs file,
but current code does not check input value overflow. E.g. if value
4294967295 (UINT_MAX) is written to file sequential_cutoff, its value
is 4GB, but if 4294967296 (UINT_MAX + 1) is written into, its value
will be 0. This is an unexpected behavior.
This patch replaces d_strtoi_h() by sysfs_strtoul_clamp() to convert
input string to unsigned integer value, and limit its range in
[0, UINT_MAX]. Then the input overflow can be fixed.

Cache set congested threshold values congested_read_threshold_us and
congested_write_threshold_us can be set via sysfs interface. These
two values are 'unsigned int' type, but sysfs interface uses strtoul
to convert input string. So if people input a large number like
9999999999, the value indeed set is 1410065407, which is not expected
behavior.
This patch replaces sysfs_strtoul() by sysfs_strtoul_clamp() when
convert input string to unsigned int value, and set value range in
[0, UINT_MAX], to avoid the above integer overflow errors.

When there are multiple bcache devices, after a reboot the name of
bcache devices may change (e.g. current /dev/bcache1 was /dev/bcache0
before reboot). Therefore we need the backing device UUID (sb.uuid) to
identify each bcache device.
Backing device uuid can be found by program bcache-super-show, but
directly exporting backing_dev_uuid by sysfs file
/sys/block/bcache<?>/bcache/backing_dev_uuid is a much simpler method.
With backing_dev_uuid, and partition uuids from /dev/disk/by-partuuid/,
now we can identify each bcache device and its partitions conveniently.

Of cause it can be done by parsing sysfs links, but this method can be
much simpler to find the link between bcache device and backing device.

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].

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.

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.

"echo 1 > writeback_running" marks writeback_running even if no
writeback kthread created as "d_strtoul(writeback_running)" will simply

Commit ea8c5356d3 ("bcache: set max writeback rate when I/O request
is idle") changes struct bch_ratelimit member rate from uint32_t to
atomic_long_t and uses atomic_long_set() in drivers/md/bcache/sysfs.c
to set new writeback rate, after the input is converted from memory
buf to long int by sysfs_strtoul_clamp().
The above change has a problem because there is an implicit return
inside sysfs_strtoul_clamp() so the following atomic_long_set()
won't be called. This error is detected by 0day system with following
snipped smatch warnings:
drivers/md/bcache/sysfs.c:271 __cached_dev_store() error: uninitialized
symbol 'v'.
270 sysfs_strtoul_clamp(writeback_rate, v, 1, INT_MAX);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
@271 atomic_long_set(&dc->writeback_rate.rate, v);
This patch fixes the above error by using strtoul_safe_clamp() to
convert the input buffer into a long int type result.

The pr_err statement in the code for sysfs_attatch section would run
for various error codes, which maybe confusing.
E.g,
Run the command twice:
echo 796b5c05-b03c-4bc7-9cbd-a8df5e8be891 > \
/sys/block/bcache0/bcache/attach
[the backing dev got attached on the first run]
echo 796b5c05-b03c-4bc7-9cbd-a8df5e8be891 > \
/sys/block/bcache0/bcache/attach
In dmesg, after the command run twice, we can get:
bcache: bch_cached_dev_attach() Can't attach sda6: already attached
bcache: __cached_dev_store() Can't attach 796b5c05-b03c-4bc7-9cbd-\
a8df5e8be891
: cache set not found
The first statement in the message was right, but the second was
confusing.
bch_cached_dev_attach has various pr_ statements for various error
codes, except ENOENT.
After the change, rerun above command twice:
echo 796b5c05-b03c-4bc7-9cbd-a8df5e8be891 > \
/sys/block/bcache0/bcache/attach
echo 796b5c05-b03c-4bc7-9cbd-a8df5e8be891 > \
/sys/block/bcache0/bcache/attach
In dmesg we only got:
bcache: bch_cached_dev_attach() Can't attach sda6: already attached
No confusing "cache set not found" message anymore.
And for some not exist SET-UUID:
echo 796b5c05-b03c-4bc7-9cbd-a8df5e8be898 > \

Commit b1092c9af9 ("bcache: allow quick writeback when backing idle")
allows the writeback rate to be faster if there is no I/O request on a
bcache device. It works well if there is only one bcache device attached
to the cache set. If there are many bcache devices attached to a cache
set, it may introduce performance regression because multiple faster
writeback threads of the idle bcache devices will compete the btree level
locks with the bcache device who have I/O requests coming.
This patch fixes the above issue by only permitting fast writebac when
all bcache devices attached on the cache set are idle. And if one of the
bcache devices has new I/O request coming, minimized all writeback
throughput immediately and let PI controller __update_writeback_rate()
to decide the upcoming writeback rate for each bcache device.
Also when all bcache devices are idle, limited wrieback rate to a small
number is wast of thoughput, especially when backing devices are slower
non-rotation devices (e.g. SATA SSD). This patch sets a max writeback
rate for each backing device if the whole cache set is idle. A faster
writeback rate in idle time means new I/Os may have more available space
for dirty data, and people may observe a better write performance then.
Please note bcache may change its cache mode in run time, and this patch
still works if the cache mode is switched from writeback mode and there
is still dirty data on cache.

When writeback is not running, writeback rate should be 0, other value is
misleading. And the following dyanmic writeback rate debug parameters
should be 0 too,
rate, proportional, integral, change
otherwise they are misleading when writeback is not running.
