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,
	bypass_torture_test,	for dc->bypass_torture_test
	writeback_metadata,	for dc->writeback_metadata
	writeback_running,	for dc->writeback_running
	verify,			for c->verify
	key_merging_disabled,	for c->key_merging_disabled
	gc_always_rewrite,	for c->gc_always_rewrite
	btree_shrinker_disabled,for c->shrinker_disabled
	copy_gc_enabled,	for c->copy_gc_enabled

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.

When setting bool values via sysfs interface, e.g. writeback_metadata,
if writing 1 into writeback_metadata file, dc->writeback_metadata is
set to 1, but if writing 2 into the file, dc->writeback_metadata is
0. This is misleading, a better result should be 1 for all non-zero
input value.

It is because dc->writeback_metadata is a bit-field variable, and
current code simply use d_strtoul() to convert a string into integer
and takes the lowest bit value. To fix such error, we need a routine
to convert the input string into unsigned integer, and set target
variable to 1 if the converted integer is non-zero.

This patch introduces a new macro called sysfs_strtoul_bool(), it can
be used to convert input string into bool value, we can use it to set
bool value for bit-field vairables.

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.

Currently sysfs_strtoul_clamp() is defined as,
 82 #define sysfs_strtoul_clamp(file, var, min, max)                   \
 83 do {                                                               \
 84         if (attr == &sysfs_ ## file)                               \
 85                 return strtoul_safe_clamp(buf, var, min, max)      \
 86                         ?: (ssize_t) size;                         \
 87 } while (0)

The problem is, if bit width of var is less then unsigned long, min and
max may not protect var from integer overflow, because overflow happens
in strtoul_safe_clamp() before checking min and max.

To fix such overflow in sysfs_strtoul_clamp(), to make min and max take
effect, this patch adds an unsigned long variable, and uses it to macro
strtoul_safe_clamp() to convert an unsigned long value in range defined
by [min, max]. Then assign this value to var. By this method, if bit
width of var is less than unsigned long, integer overflow won't happen
before min and max are checking.

Now sysfs_strtoul_clamp() can properly handle smaller data type like
unsigned int, of cause min and max should be defined in range of
unsigned int too.

Stale && dirty keys can be produced in the follow way:
After writeback in write_dirty_finish(), dirty keys k1 will
replace by clean keys k2
==>ret = bch_btree_insert(dc->disk.c, &keys, NULL, &w->key);
==>btree_insert_fn(struct btree_op *b_op, struct btree *b)
==>static int bch_btree_insert_node(struct btree *b,
       struct btree_op *op,
       struct keylist *insert_keys,
       atomic_t *journal_ref,
Then two steps:
A) update k1 to k2 in btree node memory;
   bch_btree_insert_keys(b, op, insert_keys, replace_key)
B) Write the bset(contains k2) to cache disk by a 30s delay work
   bch_btree_leaf_dirty(b, journal_ref).
But before the 30s delay work write the bset to cache device,
these things happened:
A) GC works, and reclaim the bucket k2 point to;
B) Allocator works, and invalidate the bucket k2 point to,
   and increase the gen of the bucket, and place it into free_inc
   fifo;
C) Until now, the 30s delay work still does not finish work,
   so in the disk, the key still is k1, it is dirty and stale
   (its gen is smaller than the gen of the bucket). and then the
   machine power off suddenly happens;
D) When the machine power on again, after the btree reconstruction,
   the stale dirty key appear.

In bch_extent_bad(), when expensive_debug_checks is off, it would
treat the dirty key as good even it is stale keys, and it would
cause bellow probelms:
A) In read_dirty() it would cause machine crash:
   BUG_ON(ptr_stale(dc->disk.c, &w->key, 0));
B) It could be worse when reads hits stale dirty keys, it would
   read old incorrect data.

This patch tolerate the existence of these stale && dirty keys,
and treat them as bad key in bch_extent_bad().

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.

In stats.c:bch_cache_accounting_clear(), a hard coded number '7' is
used in memset(). It is because in struct cache_stats, there are 7
atomic_t type members. This is not good when new members added into
struct stats, the hard coded number will only clear part of memory.

This patch replaces 'sizeof(unsigned long) * 7' by more generic
'sizeof(struct cache_stats))', to avoid potential error if new

We have observed it where both:
1) LVM/devmapper is involved (bcache backing device is LVM volume) and
2) writeback cache is involved (bcache cache_mode is writeback)

On one machine, we can reliably reproduce it with:

 # echo writeback > /sys/block/bcache0/bcache/cache_mode
   (not sure whether above line is required)
 # mount /dev/bcache0 /test
 # for i in {0..10}; do
	file="$(mktemp /test/zero.XXX)"
	dd if=/dev/zero of="$file" bs=1M count=256
	sync
	rm $file
    done
  # fstrim -v /test

Observing this with tracepoints on, we see the following writes:

<crash>

Note the final one has different hit/bypass flags.

This is because in should_writeback(), we were hitting a case where
the partial stripe condition was returning true and so
should_writeback() was returning true early.

If that hadn't been the case, it would have hit the would_skip test, and
as would_skip == s->iop.bypass == true, should_writeback() would have
returned false.

Looking at the git history from 'commit 72c27061 ("bcache: Write out
full stripes")', it looks like the idea was to optimise for raid5/6:

       * If a stripe is already dirty, force writes to that stripe to
	 writeback mode - to help build up full stripes of dirty data

To fix this issue, make sure that should_writeback() on a discard op
never returns true.

The only sensible explanation is that cdrom_sysctl_register() is called
twice, once from the module init function and once from register_cdrom().
cdrom_sysctl_register() is not mutex protected and may happily execute
twice if the second call is made before the first call is complete.

Use a static atomic to ensure that the function is executed exactly once.

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding the
size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along with memory
for some number of elements for that array. For example:

struct foo {
    int stuff;
    void *entry[];
};

instance = kzalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, GFP_KERNEL);

Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now
use the new struct_size() helper:

instance = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);

This patch was posted as a part of block-write-zeroes support
implementation (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9454859/),
but did not make into mainline kernel as it got reverted due to
failure on the Linus's machine.

In this patch in order to be more cautious, we use NVMe controller's
maximum hardware sector size which is calculated based on the
controller's MDTS (Maximum Data Transfer Size) field to calculate
the maximum sectors for the write zeroes request.

Currently, we check whether the hctx type is supported every time
in hot path. Actually, this is not necessary, we could save the
default hctx into ctx->hctxs if the type is not supported when
map swqueues and use it directly with ctx->hctxs[type].

We also needn't check whether the poll is enabled or not, because
the caller would clear the REQ_HIPRI in that case.

Currently, the queue mapping result is saved in a two-dimensional
array. In the hot path, to get a hctx, we need do following:

  q->queue_hw_ctx[q->tag_set->map[type].mq_map[cpu]]

This isn't very efficient. We could save the queue mapping result into
ctx directly with different hctx type, like,

When a new I/O request arrives for a bfq_queue, say Q, bfq checks
whether that request is close to
(a) the head request of some other queue waiting to be served, or
(b) the last request dispatched for the in-service queue (in case Q
itself is not the in-service queue)

If a queue, say Q2, is found for which the above condition holds, then
bfq merges Q and Q2, to hopefully get a more sequential I/O in the
resulting merged queue, and thus a possibly higher throughput.

Case (b) is checked by comparing the new request for Q with the last
request dispatched, assuming that the latter necessarily belonged to the
in-service queue. Unfortunately, this assumption is no longer always
correct, since commit d0edc247 ("block, bfq: inject other-queue I/O
into seeky idle queues on NCQ flash").

When the assumption does not hold, queues that must not be merged may be
merged, causing unexpected loss of control on per-queue service
guarantees.

This commit solves this problem by adding an extra field, which stores
the actual last request dispatched for the in-service queue, and by
using this new field to correctly check case (b).

Writes tend to starve reads. bfq counters this problem by overcharging
writes with an inflated service w.r.t. the actual service (number of
sector written) they receive.

Yet his overcharging is useless, and actually causes unfairness in the
opposite direction, when bfq happens to be enforcing strong I/O control.
bfq does this enforcing when the scenario is asymmetric, i.e., when some
bfq_queue or group of bfq_queues is to be granted a different bandwidth
than some other bfq_queue or group of bfq_queues. So, in such a
scenario, this commit disables write overcharging.

If active queue hasn't enough requests and idle window opens, cfq will
not dispatch sufficient requests to hardware. In such situation, current
code will zero hw_tag. But this is because cfq doesn't dispatch enough
requests instead of hardware queue doesn't work. Don't zero hw_tag in

bfq simple heuristic from cfq for detecting whether the drive performs
command queueing: check whether the average number of in-flight requests
is above a given threshold. Unfortunately this heuristic does fail to
detect queueing (on drives with queueing) if processes doing I/O are few
and issue I/O with a low depth.

To reduce false negatives, this commit lowers the threshold.

bfq maintains an ordered list, through a red-black tree, of unique
weights of active bfq_queues. This list is used to detect whether there
are active queues with differentiated weights. The weight of a queue is
removed from the list when both the following two conditions become
true:

(1) the bfq_queue is flagged as inactive
(2) the has no in-flight request any longer;

Unfortunately, in the rare cases where condition (2) becomes true before
condition (1), the removal fails, because the function to remove the
weight of the queue (bfq_weights_tree_remove) is rightly invoked in the
path that deactivates the bfq_queue, but mistakenly invoked *before* the
function that actually performs the deactivation (bfq_deactivate_bfqq).

This commits moves the invocation of bfq_weights_tree_remove for
condition (1) to after bfq_deactivate_bfqq. As a consequence of this
move, it is necessary to add a further reference to the queue when the
weight of a queue is added, because the queue might otherwise be freed
before bfq_weights_tree_remove is invoked. This commit adds this
reference and makes all related modifications.

bfq detects the creation of multiple bfq_queues shortly after each
other, namely a burst of queue creations in the terminology used in the
code. If the burst is large, then no queue in the burst is granted
- either I/O-dispatch plugging when the queue remains temporarily idle
  while in service;
- or weight raising, because it causes even longer plugging.

In fact, such a plugging tends to lower throughput, while these bursts
are typically due to applications or services that spawn multiple
processes, to reach a common goal as soon as possible. Examples are a
"git grep" or the booting of a system.

Unfortunately, disabling plugging may cause a loss of service guarantees
in asymmetric scenarios, i.e., if queue weights are differentiated or if
more than one group is active.

This commit addresses this issue by no longer disabling I/O-dispatch
plugging for queues in large bursts.

If the in-service bfq_queue is sync and remains temporarily idle, then
I/O dispatching (from other queues) may be plugged. It may be dome for
two reasons: either to boost throughput, or to preserve the bandwidth
share of the in-service queue. In the first case, if the I/O of the
in-service queue, when it finally arrives, consists only of one small
I/O request, then it makes sense to plug even the I/O of the in-service
queue. In fact, serving such a small request immediately is likely to
lower throughput instead of boosting it, whereas waiting a little bit is
likely to let that request grow, thanks to request merging, and become
more profitable in terms of throughput (this is likely to happen exactly
because the I/O of the queue has been detected to boost throughput).

On the opposite end, if I/O dispatching is being plugged only to
preserve the bandwidth of the in-service queue, then it would be better
not to plug also the I/O of the in-service queue, because such a
plugging is likely to cause only loss of bandwidth for the queue.

Unfortunately, no distinction is made between the two cases, and the I/O
of the in-service queue is always plugged in case just a small I/O
request arrives. This commit draws this missing distinction and does not
perform harmful plugging.

In asymmetric scenarios, i.e., when some bfq_queue or bfq_group needs to
be guaranteed a different bandwidth than other bfq_queues or bfq_groups,
these service guaranteed can be provided only by plugging I/O dispatch,
completely or partially, when the queue in service remains temporarily
empty. A case where asymmetry is particularly strong is when some active
bfq_queues belong to a higher-priority class than some other active
bfq_queues. Unfortunately, this important case is not considered at all
in the code for detecting asymmetric scenarios. This commit adds the
missing logic.

Before commit 18e5a57d ("block, bfq: postpone rq preparation to
insert or merge"), the destination queue for a request was chosen by a
different hook than the one that then inserted the request. So, between
the execution of the two hooks, the bic of the process generating the
request could happen to be redirected to a different bfq_queue. As a
consequence, the destination bfq_queue stored in the request could be
wrong. Such an event does not need to ba handled any longer.

With some unlucky sequences of events, the function bfq_updated_next_req
updates the current budget of a bfq_queue to a lower value than the
service received by the queue using such a budget. Unfortunately, if
this happens, then the return value of the function bfq_bfqq_budget_left
becomes inconsistent. This commit solves this problem by lower-bounding
the budget computed in bfq_updated_next_req to the service currently
charged to the queue.

To boost throughput on devices with internal queueing and in scenarios
where device idling is not strictly needed, bfq immediately starts
serving a new bfq_queue if the in-service bfq_queue remains without
pending I/O, even if new I/O may arrive soon for the latter queue. Then,
if such I/O actually arrives soon, bfq preempts the new in-service
bfq_queue so as to give the previous queue a chance to go on being
served (in case the previous queue should actually be the one to be
served, according to its timestamps).

However, the in-service bfq_queue, say Q, may also be without further
budget when it remains also pending I/O. Since bfq changes budgets
dynamically to fit the needs of bfq_queues, this happens more often than
one may expect. If this happens, then there is no point in trying to go
on serving Q when new I/O arrives for it soon: Q would be expired
immediately after being selected for service. This would only cause
useless overhead. This commit avoids such a useless selection.

The speed at which a bfq_queue receives I/O is one of the parameters by
which bfq decides whether the queue is soft real-time (i.e., whether the
queue contains the I/O of a soft real-time application). In particular,
when a bfq_queue remains without outstanding I/O requests, bfq computes
the minimum time instant, named soft_rt_next_start, at which the next
request of the queue may arrive for the queue to be deemed as soft real
time.

Unfortunately this filtering may cause problems with a queue in
interactive weight raising. In fact, such a queue may be conveying the
I/O needed to load a soft real-time application. The latter will
actually exhibit a soft real-time I/O pattern after it finally starts
doing its job. But, if soft_rt_next_start is updated for an interactive
bfq_queue, and the queue has received a lot of service before remaining
with no outstanding request (likely to happen on a fast device), then
soft_rt_next_start is assigned such a high value that, for a very long
time, the queue is prevented from being possibly considered as soft real
time.

This commit removes the updating of soft_rt_next_start for bfq_queues in
interactive weight raising.

The mtip32xx driver uses managed resources for DMA coherent memory
and irqs, but then always pairs them with free calls anyway, making
the resource tracking rather pointless.  Given some DMA allocations
are transient anyway, the irq freeing seems to require ordering vs
other hardware access the best solution seems to be to stop using
the managed resource API entirely.
