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.

Clear QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM in all block drivers that set
QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT.
Historically, all block devices have automatically made entropy
contributions. But as previously stated in commit e2e1a148 ("block: add
sysfs knob for turning off disk entropy contributions"):
- On SSD disks, the completion times aren't as random as they
are for rotational drives. So it's questionable whether they
should contribute to the random pool in the first place.
- Calling add_disk_randomness() has a lot of overhead.
There are more reliable sources for randomness than non-rotational block
devices. From a security perspective it is better to err on the side of
caution than to allow entropy contributions from unreliable "random"
sources.

This changes the bucket allocation reserves to use _real_ reserves - separate
freelists - instead of watermarks, which if nothing else makes the current code
saner to reason about and is going to be important in the future when we add
support for multiple btrees.
It also adds btree_check_reserve(), which checks (and locks) the reserves for
both bucket allocation and memory allocation for btree nodes; the old code just
kinda sorta assumed that since (e.g. for btree node splits) it had the root
locked and that meant no other threads could try to make use of the same
reserve; this technically should have been ok for memory allocation (we should
always have a reserve for memory allocation (the btree node cache is used as a
reserve and we preallocate it)), but multiple btrees will mean that locking the
root won't be sufficient anymore, and for the bucket allocation reserve it was
technically possible for the old code to deadlock.

With the locking rework in the last patch, this shouldn't be needed anymore -
btree_node_write_work() only takes b->write_lock which is never held for very

Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
Add a new lock, b->write_lock, which is required to actually modify - or write -
a btree node; this lock is only held for short durations.
This means we can write out a btree node without taking b->lock, which _is_ held
for long durations - solving a deadlock when btree_flush_write() (from the
journalling code) is called with a btree node locked.
Right now just occurs in bch_btree_set_root(), but with an upcoming journalling
rework is going to happen a lot more.
This also turns b->lock is now more of a read/intent lock instead of a
read/write lock - but not completely, since it still blocks readers. May turn it
into a real intent lock at some point in the future.

Deadlock happened because a foreground write slept, waiting for a bucket
to be allocated. Normally the gc would mark buckets available for invalidation.
But the moving_gc was stuck waiting for outstanding writes to complete.
These writes used the bcache_wq, the same queue foreground writes used.
This fix gives moving_gc its own work queue, so it was still finish moving
even if foreground writes are stuck waiting for allocation. It also makes
work queue a parameter to the data_insert path, so moving_gc can use its
workqueue for writes.

We need a reserve for allocating buckets for new btree nodes - and now that

This reworks the reserves so we've got separate freelists for each reserve

some code so that btree_split() can make sure the reserve is available before it

The bucket refcount (dropped with bkey_put()) is only needed to prevent
the newly allocated bucket from being garbage collected until we've
added a pointer to it somewhere. But for btree node allocations, the
fact that we have btree nodes locked is enough to guard against races
with garbage collection.
Eventually the per bucket refcount is going to be replaced with
something specific to bch_alloc_sectors().

The tracepoints were reworked to be more sensible, and fixed a null

Converted some of the pr_debug()s to tracepoints - this is partly a
performance optimization; it used to be that with DEBUG or
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG pr_debug() was an empty macro; but at some point it
was changed to an empty inline function.
Some of the pr_debug() statements had rather expensive function calls as
part of the arguments, so this code was getting run unnecessarily even
on non debug kernels - in some fast paths, too.

The most significant change is that btree reads are now done
synchronously, instead of asynchronously and doing the post read stuff
from a workqueue.
This was originally done because we can't block on IO under
generic_make_request(). But - we already have a mechanism to punt cache
lookups to workqueue if needed, so if we just use that we don't have to
deal with the complexity of doing things asynchronously.
The main benefit is this makes the locking situation saner; we can hold
our write lock on the btree node until we're finished reading it, and we
don't need that btree_node_read_done() flag anymore.
Also, for writes, btree_write() was broken out into btree_node_write()
and btree_leaf_dirty() - the old code with the boolean argument was dumb
and confusing.
The prio_blocked mechanism was improved a bit too, now the only counter
is in struct btree_write, we don't mess with transfering a count from
struct btree anymore.
This required changing garbage collection to block prios at the start
and unblock when it finishes, which is cleaner than what it was doing
anyways (the old code had mostly the same effect, but was doing it in a
convoluted way)
And the btree iter btree_node_read_done() uses was converted to a real
mempool.
