When people set a writeback percent via sysfs file,
/sys/block/bcache<N>/bcache/writeback_percent
current code directly sets BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING to dc->disk.flags
and schedules kworker dc->writeback_rate_update.
If there is no cache set attached to, the writeback kernel thread is
not running indeed, running dc->writeback_rate_update does not make
sense and may cause NULL pointer deference when reference cache set
pointer inside update_writeback_rate().
This patch checks whether the cache set point (dc->disk.c) is NULL in
sysfs interface handler, and only set BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING and
schedule dc->writeback_rate_update when dc->disk.c is not NULL (it
means the cache device is attached to a cache set).
This problem might be introduced from initial bcache commit, but
commit 3fd47bfe55 ("bcache: stop dc->writeback_rate_update properly")
changes part of the original code piece, so I add 'Fixes: 3fd47bfe55b0'
to indicate from which commit this patch can be applied.

Cache set sysfs entry io_error_halflife is used to set c->error_decay.
c->error_decay is in type unsigned int, and it is converted by
strtoul_or_return(), therefore overflow to c->error_decay is possible
for a large input value.
This patch fixes the overflow by using strtoul_safe_clamp() to convert

divides by 88 and set it to c->error_decay.

Current code already uses d_strtoul_nonzero() to convert input string

dc->writeback_rate_p_term_inverse can still be set to 0 even if the
sysfs file input value is not zero, e.g. 4294967296 (a.k.a UINT_MAX+1).
If dc->writeback_rate_p_term_inverse is set to 0, it might cause a

dc->writeback_rate_i_term_inverse can be set via sysfs interface. It is

problem is d_strtoul() does not check valid range of the input, if
4294967296 is written into sysfs file writeback_rate_i_term_inverse,
an overflow of unsigned integer will happen and value 0 is set to
dc->writeback_rate_i_term_inverse.
In writeback.c:__update_writeback_rate(), there are following lines of
code,
integral_scaled = div_s64(dc->writeback_rate_integral,

If dc->writeback_rate_i_term_inverse is set to 0 via sysfs interface,
a div-zero error might be triggered in the above code.

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

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.

Because CUTOFF_WRITEBACK is defined as 40, so before the changes of

CUTOFF_WRITEBACK]. Any value larger than CUTOFF_WRITEBACK will be fixed
up to 40.
Now cutof writeback limit is a dynamic value bch_cutoff_writeback, so
the range of writeback_percent can be a more flexible range as [0,

larger or smaller range than [0, 40], depends on how value
bch_cutoff_writeback is specified.

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

collection will discard SSD data which drops cached data.
Echo 1 into /sys/fs/bcache/<UUID>/internal/gc_after_writeback will

and all cached data is clean.
This option is helpful for people who cares writing performance more. In
heavy writing workload, all cached data can be clean only happens when
writeback thread cleans all cached data in I/O idle time. In such
situation a following gc running may help to shrink bcache B+ tree and

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.

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.

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.

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.
v1, initial version.

struct delayed_work writeback_rate_update in struct cache_dev is a delayed
worker to call function update_writeback_rate() in period (the interval is
defined by dc->writeback_rate_update_seconds).
When a metadate I/O error happens on cache device, bcache error handling
routine bch_cache_set_error() will call bch_cache_set_unregister() to
retire whole cache set. On the unregister code path, this delayed work is
stopped by calling cancel_delayed_work_sync(&dc->writeback_rate_update).
dc->writeback_rate_update is a special delayed work from others in bcache.
In its routine update_writeback_rate(), this delayed work is re-armed
itself. That means when cancel_delayed_work_sync() returns, this delayed
work can still be executed after several seconds defined by
dc->writeback_rate_update_seconds.
The problem is, after cancel_delayed_work_sync() returns, the cache set
unregister code path will continue and release memory of struct cache set.
Then the delayed work is scheduled to run, __update_writeback_rate()
will reference the already released cache_set memory, and trigger a NULL
pointer deference fault.
This patch introduces two more bcache device flags,
- BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING
bit set: bcache device is in writeback mode and running, it is OK for
dc->writeback_rate_update to re-arm itself.
bit clear:bcache device is trying to stop dc->writeback_rate_update,
this delayed work should not re-arm itself and quit.
- BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING
bit set: routine update_writeback_rate() is executing.
bit clear: routine update_writeback_rate() quits.
This patch also adds a function cancel_writeback_rate_update_dwork() to
wait for dc->writeback_rate_update quits before cancel it by calling
cancel_delayed_work_sync(). In order to avoid a deadlock by unexpected
quit dc->writeback_rate_update, after time_out seconds this function will
give up and continue to call cancel_delayed_work_sync().
And here I explain how this patch stops self re-armed delayed work properly
with the above stuffs.
update_writeback_rate() sets BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING at its beginning
and clears BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING at its end. Before calling
cancel_writeback_rate_update_dwork() clear flag BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING.
Before calling cancel_delayed_work_sync() wait utill flag
BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING is clear. So when calling
cancel_delayed_work_sync(), dc->writeback_rate_update must be already re-
armed, or quite by seeing BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING cleared. In both cases
delayed work routine update_writeback_rate() won't be executed after
cancel_delayed_work_sync() returns.
Inside update_writeback_rate() before calling schedule_delayed_work(), flag
BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING is checked before. If this flag is cleared, it means
someone is about to stop the delayed work. Because flag
BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING is set already and cancel_delayed_work_sync()
has to wait for this flag to be cleared, we don't need to worry about race
condition here.
If update_writeback_rate() is scheduled to run after checking
BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING and before calling cancel_delayed_work_sync()
in cancel_writeback_rate_update_dwork(), it is also safe. Because at this
moment BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING is cleared with memory barrier. As I mentioned
previously, update_writeback_rate() will see BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING is clear
and quit immediately.
Because there are more dependences inside update_writeback_rate() to struct
cache_set memory, dc->writeback_rate_update is not a simple self re-arm
delayed work. After trying many different methods (e.g. hold dc->count, or
use locks), this is the only way I can find which works to properly stop
dc->writeback_rate_update delayed work.
Changelog:
v3: change values of BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING and BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING
to bit index, for test_bit().
v2: Try to fix the race issue which is pointed out by Junhui.

After that, execute a command to modify the label of bcache

[root]# echo data_disk1 > label
Then we reboot the system, when the system power on, the back-end
device can not attach to cache_set, a messages show in the log:
Feb 5 12:05:52 ceph152 kernel: [922385.508498] bcache:

In sysfs_attach(), dc->sb.set_uuid was assigned to the value
which input through sysfs, no matter whether it is success
or not in bch_cached_dev_attach(). For example, If the back-end
device has already attached to an cache set, bch_cached_dev_attach()
would fail, but dc->sb.set_uuid was changed. Then modify the
label of bcache device, it will call bch_write_bdev_super(),
which would write the dc->sb.set_uuid to the super block, so we
record a wrong cache set ID in the super block, after the system
reboot, the cache set couldn't find the uuid of the back-end
device, so the bcache device couldn't exist and use any more.
In this patch, we don't assigned cache set ID to dc->sb.set_uuid
in sysfs_attach() directly, but input it into bch_cached_dev_attach(),
and assigned dc->sb.set_uuid to the cache set ID after the back-end
device attached to the cache set successful.

dc->writeback_rate_update_seconds can be set via sysfs and its value can
be set to [1, ULONG_MAX]. It does not make sense to set such a large
value, 60 seconds is long enough value considering the default 5 seconds
works well for long time.
Because dc->writeback_rate_update is a special delayed work, it re-arms
itself inside the delayed work routine update_writeback_rate(). When
stopping it by cancel_delayed_work_sync(), there should be a timeout to
wait and make sure the re-armed delayed work is stopped too. A small max
value of dc->writeback_rate_update_seconds is also helpful to decide a
reasonable small timeout.
This patch limits sysfs interface to set dc->writeback_rate_update_seconds
in range of [1, 60] seconds, and replaces the hand-coded number by macros.

Struct cache uses io_errors for two purposes,
- Error decay: when cache set error_decay is set, io_errors is used to
generate a small piece of delay when I/O error happens.
- I/O errors counter: in order to generate big enough value for error
decay, I/O errors counter value is stored by left shifting 20 bits (a.k.a
IO_ERROR_SHIFT).
In function bch_count_io_errors(), if I/O errors counter reaches cache set
error limit, bch_cache_set_error() will be called to retire the whold cache
set. But current code is problematic when checking the error limit, see the
following code piece from bch_count_io_errors(),
90 if (error) {
91 char buf[BDEVNAME_SIZE];
92 unsigned errors = atomic_add_return(1 << IO_ERROR_SHIFT,
93 &ca->io_errors);
94 errors >>= IO_ERROR_SHIFT;
95
96 if (errors < ca->set->error_limit)
97 pr_err("%s: IO error on %s, recovering",
98 bdevname(ca->bdev, buf), m);
99 else
100 bch_cache_set_error(ca->set,
101 "%s: too many IO errors %s",
102 bdevname(ca->bdev, buf), m);
103 }
At line 94, errors is right shifting IO_ERROR_SHIFT bits, now it is real
errors counter to compare at line 96. But ca->set->error_limit is initia-
lized with an amplified value in bch_cache_set_alloc(),
1545 c->error_limit = 8 << IO_ERROR_SHIFT;
It means by default, in bch_count_io_errors(), before 8<<20 errors happened
bch_cache_set_error() won't be called to retire the problematic cache
device. If the average request size is 64KB, it means bcache won't handle
failed device until 512GB data is requested. This is too large to be an I/O
threashold. So I believe the correct error limit should be much less.
This patch sets default cache set error limit to 8, then in
bch_count_io_errors() when errors counter reaches 8 (if it is default
value), function bch_cache_set_error() will be called to retire the whole
cache set. This patch also removes bits shifting when store or show
io_error_limit value via sysfs interface.
Nowadays most of SSDs handle internal flash failure automatically by LBA
address re-indirect mapping. If an I/O error can be observed by upper layer
code, it will be a notable error because that SSD can not re-indirect
map the problematic LBA address to an available flash block. This situation
indicates the whole SSD will be failed very soon. Therefore setting 8 as
the default io error limit value makes sense, it is enough for most of
cache devices.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

bcache uses a control system to attempt to keep the amount of dirty data
in cache at a user-configured level, while not responding excessively to
transients and variations in write rate. Previously, the system was a
PD controller; but the output from it was integrated, turning the
Proportional term into an Integral term, and turning the Derivative term
into a crude Proportional term. Performance of the controller has been
uneven in production, and it has tended to respond slowly, oscillate,
and overshoot.
This patch set replaces the current control system with an explicit PI
controller and tuning that should be correct for most hardware. By
default, it attempts to write at a rate that would retire 1/40th of the
current excess blocks per second. An integral term in turn works to
remove steady state errors.
IMO, this yields benefits in simplicity (removing weighted average
filtering, etc) and system performance.
Another small change is a tunable parameter is introduced to allow the
user to specify a minimum rate at which dirty blocks are retired.
There is a slight difference from earlier versions of the patch in
integral handling to prevent excessive negative integral windup.
