pktdvd is a deprecated driver that isn't useful in stack setup
either. So remove the dead congested_fn stacking infrastructure.

[axboe: fixup unused variables in bcache/request.c]
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
The make_request_fn is a little weird in that it sits directly in
struct request_queue instead of an operation vector. Replace it with
a block_device_operations method called submit_bio (which describes much
better what it does). Also remove the request_queue argument to it, as
the queue can be derived pretty trivially from the bio.

This patch changes the asynchronous registration kworker to a delayed
kworker. There is probability queue_work() queues the async registration
kworker to the same CPU (even though very little), then the process
which writing sysfs interface to reigster bcache device may won't return
immeidately. queue_delayed_work() in this patch will delay 10 jiffies
before insert the kworker to run queue, which makes sure the registering
process may always returns to user space in time.

It's possible for a block driver to set logical block size to
a value greater than page size incorrectly; e.g. bcache takes
the value from the superblock, set by the user w/ make-bcache.
This causes a BUG/NULL pointer dereference in the path:
__blkdev_get()
-> set_init_blocksize() // set i_blkbits based on ...
-> bdev_logical_block_size()
-> queue_logical_block_size() // ... this value
-> bdev_disk_changed()
...
-> blkdev_readpage()
-> block_read_full_page()
-> create_page_buffers() // size = 1 << i_blkbits
-> create_empty_buffers() // give size/take pointer
-> alloc_page_buffers() // return NULL
.. BUG!
Because alloc_page_buffers() is called with size > PAGE_SIZE,
thus it initializes head = NULL, skips the loop, return head;
then create_empty_buffers() gets (and uses) the NULL pointer.
This has been around longer than commit ad6bf88a6c ("block:
fix an integer overflow in logical block size"); however, it
increased the range of values that can trigger the issue.
Previously only 8k/16k/32k (on x86/4k page size) would do it,
as greater values overflow unsigned short to zero, and queue_
logical_block_size() would then use the default of 512.
Now the range with unsigned int is much larger, and users w/
the 512k value, which happened to be zero'ed previously and
work fine, started to hit this issue -- as the zero is gone,
and queue_logical_block_size() does return 512k (>PAGE_SIZE.)
Fix this by checking the bcache device's logical block size,
and if it's greater than page size, fallback to the backing/
cached device's logical page size.
This doesn't affect cache devices as those are still checked
for block/page size in read_super(); only the backing/cached
devices are not.
Apparently it's a regression from commit 2903381fce ("bcache:
Take data offset from the bdev superblock."), moving the check
into BCACHE_SB_VERSION_CDEV only. Now that we have superblocks
of backing devices out there with this larger value, we cannot
refuse to load them (i.e., have a similar check in _BDEV.)
Ideally perhaps bcache should use all values from the backing
device (physical/logical/io_min block size)? But for now just
fix the problematic case.
Test-case:
# IMG=/root/disk.img
# dd if=/dev/zero of=$IMG bs=1 count=0 seek=1G
# DEV=$(losetup --find --show $IMG)
# make-bcache --bdev $DEV --block 8k

In order to avoid the experimental async registration interface to
be treated as new kernel ABI for common users, this patch makes it
as an experimental kernel configure BCACHE_ASYNC_REGISTRAION.
This interface is for extreme large cached data situation, to make sure
the bcache device can always created without the udev timeout issue. For
normal users the async or sync registration does not make difference.
In future when we decide to use the asynchronous registration as default
behavior, this experimental interface may be removed.

When there is a lot of data cached on cache device, the bcach internal
btree can take a very long to validate during the backing device and
cache device registration. In my test, it may takes 55+ minutes to check
all the internal btree nodes.
The problem is that the registration is invoked by udev rules and the
udevd has 180 seconds timeout by default. If the btree node checking
time is longer than udevd timeout, the registering process will be
killed by udevd with SIGKILL. If the registering process has pending
sigal, creating kthread for bcache will fail and the device registration
will fail. The result is, for bcache device which cached a lot of data
on cache device, the bcache device node like /dev/bcache<N> won't create
always due to the very long btree checking time.
A solution to avoid the udevd 180 seconds timeout is to register devices
in an asynchronous way. Which is, after writing cache or backing device
path into /sys/fs/bcache/register_async, the kernel code will create a
kworker and move all the btree node checking (for cache device) or dirty
data counting (for cached device) in the kwork context. Then the kworder
is scheduled on system_wq and the registration code just returned to
user space udev rule task. By this asynchronous way, the udev task for
bcache rule will complete in seconds, no matter how long time spent in
the kworker context, it won't be killed by udevd for a timeout.
After all the checking and counting are done asynchronously in the
kworker, the bcache device will eventually be created successfully.
This patch does the above chagne and add a register sysfs file
/sys/fs/bcache/register_async. Writing the registering device path into
this sysfs file will do the asynchronous registration.
The register_async interface is for very rare condition and won't be
used for common users. In future I plan to make the asynchronous
registration as default behavior, which depends on feedback for this
patch.

The problematic code piece in bcache_device_free() is,
785 static void bcache_device_free(struct bcache_device *d)
786 {
787 struct gendisk *disk = d->disk;
[snipped]
799 if (disk) {
800 if (disk->flags & GENHD_FL_UP)
801 del_gendisk(disk);

807 first_minor_to_idx(disk->first_minor));
808 put_disk(disk);
809 }
[snipped]
816 }
At line 808, put_disk(disk) may encounter kobject refcount of 'disk'
being underflow.
Here is how to reproduce the issue,
- Attche the backing device to a cache device and do random write to
make the cache being dirty.
- Stop the bcache device while the cache device has dirty data of the
backing device.
- Only register the backing device back, NOT register cache device.
- The bcache device node /dev/bcache0 won't show up, because backing
device waits for the cache device shows up for the missing dirty
data.
- Now echo 1 into /sys/fs/bcache/pendings_cleanup, to stop the pending
backing device.
- After the pending backing device stopped, use 'dmesg' to check kernel
message, a use-after-free warning from KASA reported the refcount of
kobject linked to the 'disk' is underflow.
The dropping refcount at line 808 in the above code piece is added by
add_disk(d->disk) in bch_cached_dev_run(). But in the above condition
the cache device is not registered, bch_cached_dev_run() has no chance
to be called and the refcount is not added. The put_disk() for a non-
added refcount of gendisk kobject triggers a underflow warning.
This patch checks whether GENHD_FL_UP is set in disk->flags, if it is
not set then the bcache device was not added, don't call put_disk()
and the the underflow issue can be avoided.

This reverts commit 1df3877ff6.
In my testing, sometimes even all the cached btree nodes are freed,
creating gc and allocator kernel threads may still fail. Finally it
turns out that kthread_run() may fail if there is pending signal for
current task. And the pending signal is sent from OOM killer which
is triggered by memory consuption in bch_btree_check().
Therefore explicitly shrinking bcache btree node here does not help,
and after the shrinker callback is improved, as well as pending signals
are ignored before creating kernel threads, now such operation is
unncessary anymore.
This patch reverts the commit 1df3877ff6 ("bcache: shrink btree node

When cache set starts, bch_btree_check() will check all bkeys on cache
device by calculating the checksum. This operation will consume a huge
number of system memory if there are a lot of data cached. Since bcache
uses its own mca cache to maintain all its read-in btree nodes, and only
releases the cache space when system memory manage code starts to shrink
caches. Then before memory manager code to call the mca cache shrinker
callback, bcache mca cache will compete memory resource with user space
application, which may have nagive effect to performance of user space
workloads (e.g. data base, or I/O service of distributed storage node).
This patch tries to call bcache mca shrinker routine to proactively
release mca cache memory, to decrease the memory pressure of system and

[ 101.691318][ T401] bcache: bcache_device_free() bcache0 stopped
Here is how the above potential deadlock may happen in reboot/shutdown
code path,
1) bcache_reboot() is called firstly in the reboot/shutdown code path,
then in bcache_reboot(), bcache_device_stop() is called.
2) bcache_device_stop() sets BCACHE_DEV_CLOSING on d->falgs, then call
closure_queue(&d->cl) to invoke cached_dev_flush(). And in turn
cached_dev_flush() calls cached_dev_free() via closure_at()
3) In cached_dev_free(), after stopped writebach kthread
dc->writeback_thread, the kwork dc->writeback_write_wq is stopping by
destroy_workqueue().
4) Inside destroy_workqueue(), drain_workqueue() is called. Inside
drain_workqueue(), flush_workqueue() is called. Then wq->lockdep_map
is acquired by lock_map_acquire() in flush_workqueue(). After the
lock acquired the rest part of flush_workqueue() just wait for the
workqueue to complete.
5) Now we look back at writeback thread routine bch_writeback_thread(),
in the main while-loop, write_dirty() is called via continue_at() in
read_dirty_submit(), which is called via continue_at() in while-loop
level called function read_dirty(). Inside write_dirty() it may be
re-called on workqueeu dc->writeback_write_wq via continue_at().
It means when the writeback kthread is stopped in cached_dev_free()
there might be still one kworker queued on dc->writeback_write_wq
to execute write_dirty() again.
6) Now this kworker is scheduled on dc->writeback_write_wq to run by
process_one_work() (which is called by worker_thread()). Before
calling the kwork routine, wq->lockdep_map is acquired.
7) But wq->lockdep_map is acquired already in step 4), so a A-A lock
(lockdep terminology) scenario happens.
Indeed on multiple cores syatem, the above deadlock is very rare to
happen, just as the code comments in process_one_work() says,
2263 * AFAICT there is no possible deadlock scenario between the
2264 * flush_work() and complete() primitives (except for
single-threaded
2265 * workqueues), so hiding them isn't a problem.
But it is still good to fix such lockdep warning, even no one running
bcache on single core system.
The fix is simple. This patch solves the above potential deadlock by,
- Do not destroy workqueue dc->writeback_write_wq in cached_dev_free().
- Flush and destroy dc->writeback_write_wq in writebach kthread routine
bch_writeback_thread(), where after quit the thread main while-loop
and before cached_dev_put() is called.
By this fix, dc->writeback_write_wq will be stopped and destroy before
the writeback kthread stopped, so the chance for a A-A locking on
wq->lockdep_map is disappeared, such A-A deadlock won't happen
any more.

Here is how the deadlock happens.
1) bcache_reboot() calls bcache_device_stop(), then inside
bcache_device_stop() BCACHE_DEV_CLOSING bit is set on d->flags.
Then closure_queue(&d->cl) is called to invoke cached_dev_flush().
2) In cached_dev_flush(), cached_dev_free() is called by continu_at().
3) In cached_dev_free(), when stopping the writeback kthread of the
cached device by kthread_stop(), dc->writeback_thread will be waken
up to quite the kthread while-loop, then cached_dev_put() is called
in bch_writeback_thread().
4) Calling cached_dev_put() in writeback kthread may drop dc->count to
0, then dc->detach kworker is scheduled, which is initialized as
cached_dev_detach_finish().
5) Inside cached_dev_detach_finish(), the last line of code is to call
closure_put(&dc->disk.cl), which drops the last reference counter of
closrure dc->disk.cl, then the callback cached_dev_flush() gets
called.
Now cached_dev_flush() is called for second time in the code path, the
first time is in step 2). And again bch_register_lock will be acquired
again, and a A-A lock (lockdep terminology) is happening.
The root cause of the above A-A lock is in cached_dev_free(), mutex
bch_register_lock is held before stopping writeback kthread and other
kworkers. Fortunately now we have variable 'bcache_is_reboot', which may
prevent device registration or unregistration during reboot/shutdown
time, so it is unncessary to hold bch_register_lock such early now.
This is how this patch fixes the reboot/shutdown time A-A lock issue:
After moving mutex_lock(&bch_register_lock) to a later location where
before atomic_read(&dc->running) in cached_dev_free(), such A-A lock
problem can be solved without any reboot time registration race.

Now there is variable bcache_is_reboot to prevent device register or
unregister during reboot, it is unncessary to still hold mutex lock
bch_register_lock before stopping writeback_rate_update kworker and
writeback kthread. And if the stopping kworker or kthread holding
bch_register_lock inside their routine (we used to have such problem
in writeback thread, thanks to Junhui Wang fixed it), it is very easy
to introduce deadlock during reboot/shutdown procedure.
Therefore in this patch, the location to acquire bch_register_lock is
moved to the location before calling calc_cached_dev_sectors(). Which
is later then original location in cached_dev_detach_finish().

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);
A module range variable 'bcache_is_reboot' is added, it sets to true
in bcache_reboot(). In register_bcache(), if bcache_is_reboot is checked
to be true, reject the registration by returning -EBUSY immediately.

and there is no way to stop it or remove the bcache kernel module.
This is an as-designed behavior, but sometimes people has to reboot
whole system to release or stop the pending backing device.

When cache_set_flush() is called for too many I/O errors detected on
cache device and the cache set is retiring, inside the function it
doesn't make sense to flushing cached btree nodes from c->btree_cache
because CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE is set on c->flags already and all I/Os
onto cache device will be rejected.
This patch checks in cache_set_flush() that whether CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE
is set. If yes, then avoids to flush the cached btree nodes to reduce

This reverts commit 6147305c73.
Although this patch helps the failed bcache device to stop faster when
too many I/O errors detected on corresponding cached device, setting
CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE bit to cache set c->flags was not a good idea. This
operation will disable all I/Os on cache set, which means other attached
bcache devices won't work neither.
Without this patch, the failed bcache device can also be stopped
eventually if internal I/O accomplished (e.g. writeback). Therefore here
I revert it.

Currently run_cache_set() has no return value, if there is failure in
bch_journal_replay(), the caller of run_cache_set() has no idea about
such failure and just continue to execute following code after
run_cache_set(). The internal failure is triggered inside
bch_journal_replay() and being handled in async way. This behavior is
inefficient, while failure handling inside bch_journal_replay(), cache
register code is still running to start the cache set. Registering and

This patch adds return value to run_cache_set(), and returns -EIO if

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.

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.

The get_seconds function is deprecated now since it returns a 32-bit
value that will eventually overflow, and we are replacing it throughout
the kernel with ktime_get_seconds() or ktime_get_real_seconds() that
return a time64_t.
bcache uses get_seconds() to read the current system time and store it in
the superblock as well as in uuid_entry structures that are user visible.
Unfortunately, the two structures in are still limited to 32 bits, so this
won't fix any real problems but will still overflow in year 2106. Let's
at least document that properly, in case we get an updated format in the
future it can be fixed. We still have a long time before the overflow

Currently bcache does not handle backing device failure, if backing
device is offline and disconnected from system, its bcache device can still
be accessible. If the bcache device is in writeback mode, I/O requests even
can success if the requests hit on cache device. That is to say, when and
how bcache handles offline backing device is undefined.
This patch tries to handle backing device offline in a rather simple way,
- Add cached_dev->status_update_thread kernel thread to update backing
device status in every 1 second.
- Add cached_dev->offline_seconds to record how many seconds the backing
device is observed to be offline. If the backing device is offline for
BACKING_DEV_OFFLINE_TIMEOUT (30) seconds, set dc->io_disable to 1 and
call bcache_device_stop() to stop the bache device which linked to the
offline backing device.
Now if a backing device is offline for BACKING_DEV_OFFLINE_TIMEOUT seconds,
its bcache device will be removed, then user space application writing on
it will get error immediately, and handler the device failure in time.
This patch is quite simple, does not handle more complicated situations.
Once the bcache device is stopped, users need to recovery the backing
device, register and attach it manually.

It is possible that multiple I/O requests hits on failed cache device or

set already when a task tries to set the bit from bch_cache_set_error().
Currently the message "CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE already set" is printed by
pr_warn(), which might mislead users to think a serious fault happens in
source code.
This patch uses pr_info() to print the information in such situation,
avoid extra worries. This information is helpful to understand bcache
behavior in cache device failures, so I still keep them in source code.

device if stop_when_cache_set_failed is auto and there is dirty data on
broken cache device. There might exists a small time gap that the cache
set is released and set to NULL but bcache device is not released yet
(because they are released in parallel). During this time gap, dc->c is
NULL so CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE won't be checked, and dc->io_disable is still
false, so new coming I/O requests will be accepted and directly go into
backing device as no cache set attached to. If there is dirty data on
cache device, this behavior may introduce potential inconsistent data.
This patch sets dc->io_disable to true before calling bcache_device_stop()
to make sure the backing device will reject new coming I/O request as
well, so even in the small time gap no I/O will directly go into backing
device to corrupt data consistency.

Commit c7b7bd0740 ("bcache: add io_disable to struct cached_dev") tries
to stop bcache device by calling bcache_device_stop() when too many I/O
errors happened on backing device. But if there is internal I/O happening
on cache device (writeback scan, garbage collection, etc), a regular I/O
request triggers the internal I/Os may still holds a refcount of dc->count,
and the refcount may only be dropped after the internal I/O stopped.
By this patch, bch_cached_dev_error() will check if the backing device is
attached to a cache set, if yes that CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE will be set to
flags of this cache set. Then internal I/Os on cache device will be
rejected and stopped immediately, and the bcache device can be stopped.
For people who are not familiar with the interesting refcount dependance,
let me explain a bit more how the fix works. Example the writeback thread
will scan cache device for dirty data writeback purpose. Before it stopps,
it holds a refcount of dc->count. When CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE bit is set,
the internal I/O will stopped and the while-loop in bch_writeback_thread()
quits and calls cached_dev_put() to drop dc->count. If this is the last
refcount to drop, then cached_dev_detach_finish() will be called. In this
call back function, in turn closure_put(dc->disk.cl) is called to drop a
refcount of closure dc->disk.cl. If this is the last refcount of this
closure to drop, then cached_dev_flush() will be called. Then the cached
device is freed. So if CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE is not set, the bache device
can not be stopped until all inernal cache device I/O stopped. For large
size cache device, and writeback thread competes locks with gc thread,
there might be a quite long time to wait.

Current code uses bdevname() or bio_devname() to reference gendisk
disk name when bcache needs to display the disk names in kernel message.
It was safe before bcache device failure handling patch set merged in,
because when devices are failed, there was deadlock to prevent bcache
printing error messages with gendisk disk name. But after the failure
handling patch set merged, the deadlock is fixed, so it is possible
that the gendisk structure bdev->hd_disk is released when bdevname() is
called to reference bdev->bd_disk->disk_name[]. This is why I receive
bug report of NULL pointers deference panic.
This patch stores gendisk disk name in a buffer inside struct cache and
struct cached_dev, then print out the offline device name won't reference
bdev->hd_disk anymore. And this patch also avoids extra function calls
of bdevname() and bio_devnmae().
Changelog:
v3, add Reviewed-by from Hannes.
v2, call bdevname() earlier in register_bdev()

If a bcache device is configured to writeback mode, current code does not
handle write I/O errors on backing devices properly.
In writeback mode, write request is written to cache device, and
latter being flushed to backing device. If I/O failed when writing from
cache device to the backing device, bcache code just ignores the error and
upper layer code is NOT noticed that the backing device is broken.
This patch tries to handle backing device failure like how the cache device
failure is handled,
- Add a error counter 'io_errors' and error limit 'error_limit' in struct
cached_dev. Add another io_disable to struct cached_dev to disable I/Os
on the problematic backing device.
- When I/O error happens on backing device, increase io_errors counter. And
if io_errors reaches error_limit, set cache_dev->io_disable to true, and
stop the bcache device.
The result is, if backing device is broken of disconnected, and I/O errors
reach its error limit, backing device will be disabled and the associated
bcache device will be removed from system.
Changelog:
v2: remove "bcache: " prefix in pr_error(), and use correct name string to
print out bcache device gendisk name.
v1: indeed this is new added in v2 patch set.

In order to catch I/O error of backing device, a separate bi_end_io
call back is required. Then a per backing device counter can record I/O
errors number and retire the backing device if the counter reaches a
per backing device I/O error limit.
This patch adds backing_request_endio() to bcache backing device I/O code
path, this is a preparation for further complicated backing device failure
handling. So far there is no real code logic change, I make this change a
separate patch to make sure it is stable and reliable for further work.
Changelog:
v2: Fix code comments typo, remove a redundant bch_writeback_add() line
added in v4 patch set.
v1: indeed this is new added in this patch set.

In current code closure debug file is outside of debug directory
and when unloading module there is lack of removing operation
for closure debug file, so it will cause creating error when trying
to reload module.
This patch move closure debug file into "bcache" debug direcory
so that the file can get deleted properly.

When there are too many I/O errors on cache device, current bcache code
will retire the whole cache set, and detach all bcache devices. But the
detached bcache devices are not stopped, which is problematic when bcache
is in writeback mode.
If the retired cache set has dirty data of backing devices, continue
writing to bcache device will write to backing device directly. If the
LBA of write request has a dirty version cached on cache device, next time
when the cache device is re-registered and backing device re-attached to
it again, the stale dirty data on cache device will be written to backing
device, and overwrite latest directly written data. This situation causes
a quite data corruption.
But we cannot simply stop all attached bcache devices when the cache set is
broken or disconnected. For example, use bcache to accelerate performance
of an email service. In such workload, if cache device is broken but no
dirty data lost, keep the bcache device alive and permit email service
continue to access user data might be a better solution for the cache
device failure.
Nix <nix@esperi.org.uk> points out the issue and provides the above example
to explain why it might be necessary to not stop bcache device for broken
cache device. Pavel Goran <via-bcache@pvgoran.name> provides a brilliant
suggestion to provide "always" and "auto" options to per-cached device
sysfs file stop_when_cache_set_failed. If cache set is retiring and the
backing device has no dirty data on cache, it should be safe to keep the
bcache device alive. In this case, if stop_when_cache_set_failed is set to
"auto", the device failure handling code will not stop this bcache device
and permit application to access the backing device with a unattached
bcache device.
Changelog:
[mlyle: edited to not break string constants across lines]
v3: fix typos pointed out by Nix.
v2: change option values of stop_when_cache_set_failed from 1/0 to
"auto"/"always".
v1: initial version, stop_when_cache_set_failed can be 0 (not stop) or 1
(always stop).

When too many I/Os failed on cache device, bch_cache_set_error() is called
in the error handling code path to retire whole problematic cache set. If
new I/O requests continue to come and take refcount dc->count, the cache
set won't be retired immediately, this is a problem.
Further more, there are several kernel thread and self-armed kernel work
may still running after bch_cache_set_error() is called. It needs to wait
quite a while for them to stop, or they won't stop at all. They also
prevent the cache set from being retired.
The solution in this patch is, to add per cache set flag to disable I/O
request on this cache and all attached backing devices. Then new coming I/O
requests can be rejected in *_make_request() before taking refcount, kernel
threads and self-armed kernel worker can stop very fast when flags bit
CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE is set.
Because bcache also do internal I/Os for writeback, garbage collection,
bucket allocation, journaling, this kind of I/O should be disabled after
bch_cache_set_error() is called. So closure_bio_submit() is modified to
check whether CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE is set on cache_set->flags. If set,
closure_bio_submit() will set bio->bi_status to BLK_STS_IOERR and
return, generic_make_request() won't be called.
A sysfs interface is also added to set or clear CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE bit
from cache_set->flags, to disable or enable cache set I/O for debugging. It
is helpful to trigger more corner case issues for failed cache device.
Changelog
v4, add wait_for_kthread_stop(), and call it before exits writeback and gc
kernel threads.
v3, change CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE from 4 to 3, since it is bit index.
remove "bcache: " prefix when printing out kernel message.
v2, more changes by previous review,
- Use CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE of cache_set->flags, suggested by Junhui.
- Check CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE in bch_btree_gc() to stop a while-loop, this
is reported and inspired from origal patch of Pavel Vazharov.
