When shrink btree node cache from c->btree_cache in bch_mca_scan(),
no matter the selected node is reaped or not, it will be rotated from
the head to the tail of c->btree_cache list. But in bcache journal
code, when flushing the btree nodes with oldest journal entry, btree
nodes are iterated and slected from the tail of c->btree_cache list in
btree_flush_write(). The list_rotate_left() in bch_mca_scan() will
make btree_flush_write() iterate more nodes in c->btree_list in reverse
order.
This patch just reaps the selected btree node cache, and not move it
from the head to the tail of c->btree_cache list. Then bch_mca_scan()
will not mess up c->btree_cache list to btree_flush_write().

In order to skip the most recently freed btree node cahce, currently
in bch_mca_scan() the first 3 caches in c->btree_cache_freeable list
are skipped when shrinking bcache node caches in bch_mca_scan(). The
related code in bch_mca_scan() is,
737 list_for_each_entry_safe(b, t, &c->btree_cache_freeable, list) {
738 if (nr <= 0)
739 goto out;
740
741 if (++i > 3 &&
742 !mca_reap(b, 0, false)) {
lines free cache memory
746 }
747 nr--;
748 }
The problem is, if virtual memory code calls bch_mca_scan() and
the calculated 'nr' is 1 or 2, then in the above loop, nothing will
be shunk. In such case, if slub/slab manager calls bch_mca_scan()
for many times with small scan number, it does not help to shrink
cache memory and just wasts CPU cycles.
This patch just selects btree node caches from tail of the
c->btree_cache_freeable list, then the newly freed host cache can
still be allocated by mca_alloc(), and at least 1 node can be shunk.

The member 'accessed' of struct btree is used in bch_mca_scan() when
shrinking btree node caches. The original idea is, if b->accessed is
set, clean it and look at next btree node cache from c->btree_cache
list, and only shrink the caches whose b->accessed is cleaned. Then
only cold btree node cache will be shrunk.
But when I/O pressure is high, it is very probably that b->accessed
of a btree node cache will be set again in bch_btree_node_get()
before bch_mca_scan() selects it again. Then there is no chance for
bch_mca_scan() to shrink enough memory back to slub or slab system.
This patch removes member accessed from struct btree, then once a
btree node ache is selected, it will be immediately shunk. By this
change, bch_mca_scan() may release btree node cahce more efficiently.

the commit 91be66e131 ("bcache: performance improvement for
btree_flush_write()") was an effort to flushing btree node with oldest
btree node faster in following methods,
- Only iterate dirty btree nodes in c->btree_cache, avoid scanning a lot
of clean btree nodes.
- Take c->btree_cache as a LRU-like list, aggressively flushing all
dirty nodes from tail of c->btree_cache util the btree node with
oldest journal entry is flushed. This is to reduce the time of holding
c->bucket_lock.
Guoju Fang and Shuang Li reported that they observe unexptected extra
write I/Os on cache device after applying the above patch. Guoju Fang
provideed more detailed diagnose information that the aggressive
btree nodes flushing may cause 10x more btree nodes to flush in his
workload. He points out when system memory is large enough to hold all
btree nodes in memory, c->btree_cache is not a LRU-like list any more.
Then the btree node with oldest journal entry is very probably not-
close to the tail of c->btree_cache list. In such situation much more
dirty btree nodes will be aggressively flushed before the target node
is flushed. When slow SATA SSD is used as cache device, such over-
aggressive flushing behavior will cause performance regression.
After spending a lot of time on debug and diagnose, I find the real
condition is more complicated, aggressive flushing dirty btree nodes
from tail of c->btree_cache list is not a good solution.
- When all btree nodes are cached in memory, c->btree_cache is not
a LRU-like list, the btree nodes with oldest journal entry won't
be close to the tail of the list.
- There can be hundreds dirty btree nodes reference the oldest journal
entry, before flushing all the nodes the oldest journal entry cannot
be reclaimed.
When the above two conditions mixed together, a simply flushing from
tail of c->btree_cache list is really NOT a good idea.
Fortunately there is still chance to make btree_flush_write() work
better. Here is how this patch avoids unnecessary btree nodes flushing,
- Only acquire c->journal.lock when getting oldest journal entry of
fifo c->journal.pin. In rested locations check the journal entries
locklessly, so their values can be changed on other cores
in parallel.
- In loop list_for_each_entry_safe_reverse(), checking latest front
point of fifo c->journal.pin. If it is different from the original
point which we get with locking c->journal.lock, it means the oldest
journal entry is reclaim on other cores. At this moment, all selected
dirty nodes recorded in array btree_nodes[] are all flushed and clean
on other CPU cores, it is unncessary to iterate c->btree_cache any
longer. Just quit the list_for_each_entry_safe_reverse() loop and
the following for-loop will skip all the selected clean nodes.
- Find a proper time to quit the list_for_each_entry_safe_reverse()
loop. Check the refcount value of orignial fifo front point, if the
value is larger than selected node number of btree_nodes[], it means
more matching btree nodes should be scanned. Otherwise it means no
more matching btee nodes in rest of c->btree_cache list, the loop
can be quit. If the original oldest journal entry is reclaimed and
fifo front point is updated, the refcount of original fifo front point
will be 0, then the loop will be quit too.
- Not hold c->bucket_lock too long time. c->bucket_lock is also required
for space allocation for cached data, hold it for too long time will
block regular I/O requests. When iterating list c->btree_cache, even
there are a lot of maching btree nodes, in order to not holding
c->bucket_lock for too long time, only BTREE_FLUSH_NR nodes are
selected and to flush in following for-loop.
With this patch, only btree nodes referencing oldest journal entry
are flushed to cache device, no aggressive flushing for unnecessary
btree node any more. And in order to avoid blocking regluar I/O
requests, each time when btree_flush_write() called, at most only
BTREE_FLUSH_NR btree nodes are selected to flush, even there are more
maching btree nodes in list c->btree_cache.
At last, one more thing to explain: Why it is safe to read front point
of c->journal.pin without holding c->journal.lock inside the
list_for_each_entry_safe_reverse() loop ?
Here is my answer: When reading the front point of fifo c->journal.pin,
we don't need to know the exact value of front point, we just want to
check whether the value is different from the original front point
(which is accurate value because we get it while c->jouranl.lock is
held). For such purpose, it works as expected without holding
c->journal.lock. Even the front point is changed on other CPU core and
not updated to local core, and current iterating btree node has
identical journal entry local as original fetched fifo front point, it
is still safe. Because after holding mutex b->write_lock (with memory
barrier) this btree node can be found as clean and skipped, the loop
will quite latter when iterate on next node of list c->btree_cache.

In bch_mca_scan(), the number of shrinking btree node is calculated
by code like this,
unsigned long nr = sc->nr_to_scan;
nr /= c->btree_pages;
nr = min_t(unsigned long, nr, mca_can_free(c));
variable sc->nr_to_scan is number of objects (here is bcache B+tree
nodes' number) to shrink, and pointer variable sc is sent from memory
management code as parametr of a callback.
If sc->nr_to_scan is smaller than c->btree_pages, after the above
calculation, variable 'nr' will be 0 and nothing will be shrunk. It is
frequeently observed that only 1 or 2 is set to sc->nr_to_scan and make
nr to be zero. Then bch_mca_scan() will do nothing more then acquiring
and releasing mutex c->bucket_lock.
This patch checkes whether nr is 0 after the above calculation, if 0
is the result then set 1 to variable 'n'. Then at least bch_mca_scan()
will try to shrink a single B+tree node.

Fifo structure journal.pin is implemented by a cycle buffer, if the back
index reaches highest location of the cycle buffer, it will be swapped
to 0. Once the swapping happens, it means a smaller fifo index might be
associated to a newer journal entry. So the btree node with oldest
journal entry won't be selected in bch_btree_leaf_dirty() to reference
the dirty B+tree leaf node. This problem may cause bcache journal won't
protect unflushed oldest B+tree dirty leaf node in power failure, and
this B+tree leaf node is possible to beinconsistent after reboot from
power failure.
This patch fixes the fifo index comparing logic in journal_pin_cmp(),
to avoid potential corrupted B+tree leaf node when the back index of
journal pin is swapped.

before the thread calling closure_put() calls wake_up_process(). Then,
it's possible for that thread to return and exit just before

Now we have counters for how many times jouranl is reclaimed, how many
times cached dirty btree nodes are flushed, but we don't know how many
jouranl buckets are really reclaimed.
This patch adds reclaimed_journal_buckets into struct cache_set, this
is an increasing only counter, to tell how many journal buckets are
reclaimed since cache set runs. From all these three counters (reclaim,
reclaimed_journal_buckets, flush_write), we can have idea how well
current journal space reclaim code works.

This patch improves performance for btree_flush_write() in following
ways,
- Use another spinlock journal.flush_write_lock to replace the very
hot journal.lock. We don't have to use journal.lock here, selecting
candidate btree nodes takes a lot of time, hold journal.lock here will
block other jouranling threads and drop the overall I/O performance.
- Only select flushing btree node from c->btree_cache list. When the
machine has a large system memory, mca cache may have a huge number of
cached btree nodes. Iterating all the cached nodes will take a lot
of CPU time, and most of the nodes on c->btree_cache_freeable and
c->btree_cache_freed lists are cleared and have need to flush. So only
travel mca list c->btree_cache to select flushing btree node should be
enough for most of the cases.
- Don't iterate whole c->btree_cache list, only reversely select first
BTREE_FLUSH_NR btree nodes to flush. Iterate all btree nodes from
c->btree_cache and select the oldest journal pin btree nodes consumes
huge number of CPU cycles if the list is huge (push and pop a node
into/out of a heap is expensive). The last several dirty btree nodes
on the tail of c->btree_cache list are earlest allocated and cached
btree nodes, they are relative to the oldest journal pin btree nodes.
Therefore only flushing BTREE_FLUSH_NR btree nodes from tail of
c->btree_cache probably includes the oldest journal pin btree nodes.
In my testing, the above change decreases 50%+ CPU consumption when
journal space is full. Some times IOPS drops to 0 for 5-8 seconds,
comparing blocking I/O for 120+ seconds in previous code, this is much
better. Maybe there is room to improve in future, but at this momment
the fix looks fine and performs well in my testing.

There is a race between mca_reap(), btree_node_free() and journal code
btree_flush_write(), which results very rare and strange deadlock or
panic and are very hard to reproduce.
Let me explain how the race happens. In btree_flush_write() one btree
node with oldest journal pin is selected, then it is flushed to cache
device, the select-and-flush is a two steps operation. Between these two
steps, there are something may happen inside the race window,
- The selected btree node was reaped by mca_reap() and allocated to
other requesters for other btree node.
- The slected btree node was selected, flushed and released by mca
shrink callback bch_mca_scan().
When btree_flush_write() tries to flush the selected btree node, firstly
b->write_lock is held by mutex_lock(). If the race happens and the
memory of selected btree node is allocated to other btree node, if that
btree node's write_lock is held already, a deadlock very probably
happens here. A worse case is the memory of the selected btree node is
released, then all references to this btree node (e.g. b->write_lock)
will trigger NULL pointer deference panic.
This race was introduced in commit cafe563591 ("bcache: A block layer
cache"), and enlarged by commit c4dc2497d5 ("bcache: fix high CPU
occupancy during journal"), which selected 128 btree nodes and flushed
them one-by-one in a quite long time period.
Such race is not easy to reproduce before. On a Lenovo SR650 server with
48 Xeon cores, and configure 1 NVMe SSD as cache device, a MD raid0
device assembled by 3 NVMe SSDs as backing device, this race can be
observed around every 10,000 times btree_flush_write() gets called. Both
deadlock and kernel panic all happened as aftermath of the race.
The idea of the fix is to add a btree flag BTREE_NODE_journal_flush. It
is set when selecting btree nodes, and cleared after btree nodes
flushed. Then when mca_reap() selects a btree node with this bit set,
this btree node will be skipped. Since mca_reap() only reaps btree node
without BTREE_NODE_journal_flush flag, such race is avoided.
Once corner case should be noticed, that is btree_node_free(). It might
be called in some error handling code path. For example the following
code piece from btree_split(),
2149 err_free2:
2150 bkey_put(b->c, &n2->key);
2151 btree_node_free(n2);
2152 rw_unlock(true, n2);
2153 err_free1:
2154 bkey_put(b->c, &n1->key);
2155 btree_node_free(n1);
2156 rw_unlock(true, n1);
At line 2151 and 2155, the btree node n2 and n1 are released without
mac_reap(), so BTREE_NODE_journal_flush also needs to be checked here.
If btree_node_free() is called directly in such error handling path,
and the selected btree node has BTREE_NODE_journal_flush bit set, just
delay for 1 us and retry again. In this case this btree node won't
be skipped, just retry until the BTREE_NODE_journal_flush bit cleared,
and free the btree node memory.

In bch_btree_cache_free() and btree_node_free(), BTREE_NODE_dirty is
always set no matter btree node is dirty or not. The code looks like
this,
if (btree_node_dirty(b))
btree_complete_write(b, btree_current_write(b));
clear_bit(BTREE_NODE_dirty, &b->flags);
Indeed if btree_node_dirty(b) returns false, it means BTREE_NODE_dirty
bit is cleared, then it is unnecessary to clear the bit again.
This patch only clears BTREE_NODE_dirty when btree_node_dirty(b) is
true (the bit is set), to save a few CPU cycles.

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
avoid negative effort of the overall system I/O performance.

[ 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.

[ 3142.970358][ T2649] bcache: bcache_device_free() bcache0 stopped
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.

In bch_cached_dev_attach() after bch_cached_dev_writeback_start()
called, the wrireback kthread and writeback rate update kworker of the
cached device are created, if the following bch_cached_dev_run()
failed, bch_cached_dev_attach() will return with -ENOMEM without
stopping the writeback related kthread and kworker.
This patch stops writeback kthread and writeback rate update kworker
before returning -ENOMEM if bch_cached_dev_run() returns error.
