2013-11-11bcache: Don't bother with bucket refcount for btree node allocationsKent Overstreet
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(). Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
2013-11-11bcache: Debug code improvementsKent Overstreet
Couple changes: * Consolidate bch_check_keys() and bch_check_key_order(), and move the checks that only check_key_order() could do to bch_btree_iter_next(). * Get rid of CONFIG_BCACHE_EDEBUG - now, all that code is compiled in when CONFIG_BCACHE_DEBUG is enabled, and there's now a sysfs file to flip on the EDEBUG checks at runtime. * Dropped an old not terribly useful check in rw_unlock(), and refactored/improved a some of the other debug code.

2013-11-11bcache: Move sector allocator to alloc.cKent Overstreet
Just reorganizing things a bit. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
2013-11-11bcache: Convert gc to a kthreadKent Overstreet
We needed a dedicated rescuer workqueue for gc anyways... and gc was conceptually a dedicated thread, just one that wasn't running all the time. Switch it to a dedicated thread to make the code a bit more straightforward. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
2013-11-11bcache: Convert bucket_wait to wait_queue_head_tKent Overstreet
At one point we did do fancy asynchronous waiting stuff with bucket_wait, but that's all gone (and bucket_wait is used a lot less than it used to be). So use the standard primitives. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
2013-11-11bcache: Use blkdev_issue_discard()Kent Overstreet
The old asynchronous discard code was really a relic from when all the allocation code was asynchronous - now that allocation runs out of a dedicated thread there's no point in keeping around all that complicated machinery. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
2013-07-12bcache: Allocation kthread fixesKent Overstreet
The alloc kthread should've been using try_to_freeze() - and also there was the potential for the alloc kthread to get woken up after it had shut down, which would have been bad. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
2013-06-27bcache: Fix/revamp tracepointsKent Overstreet
The tracepoints were reworked to be more sensible, and fixed a null pointer deref in one of the tracepoints. 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.

2013-06-27bcache: Convert allocator thread to kthreadKent Overstreet
Using a workqueue when we just want a single thread is a bit silly. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <koverstreet@google.com>
2013-05-01bcache: Allocator cleanup/fixesKent Overstreet
The main fix is that bch_allocator_thread() wasn't waiting on garbage collection to finish (if invalidate_buckets had set ca->invalidate_needs_gc); we need that to make sure the allocator doesn't spin and potentially block gc from finishing. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <koverstreet@google.com>
2013-03-25bcache: Style/checkpatch fixesKent Overstreet
Took out some nested functions, and fixed some more checkpatch complaints. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <koverstreet@google.com> Cc: linux-bcache@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2013-03-23bcache: A block layer cacheKent Overstreet
Does writethrough and writeback caching, handles unclean shutdown, and has a bunch of other nifty features motivated by real world usage. See the wiki at http://bcache.evilpiepirate.org for more. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <koverstreet@google.com>
