f67342dd34 bcache: Refactor bset_tree sysfs stats
We're in the process of turning bset.c into library code, so none of the code in
that file should know about struct cache_set or struct btree - so, move the
btree traversal part of the stats code to sysfs.c.

78365411b3 bcache: Rework allocator reserves
We need a reserve for allocating buckets for new btree nodes - and now that
we've got multiple btrees, it really needs to be per btree.

This reworks the reserves so we've got separate freelists for each reserve
instead of watermarks, which seems to make things a bit cleaner, and it adds
some code so that btree_split() can make sure the reserve is available before it
starts.

ef71ec0000 bcache: Data corruption fix
The code that handles overlapping extents that we've just read back in from disk
was depending on the behaviour of the code that handles overlapping extents as
we're inserting into a btree node in the case of an insert that forced an
existing extent to be split: on insert, if we had to split we'd also insert a
new extent to represent the top part of the old extent - and then that new
extent would get written out.

The code that read the extents back in thus not bother with splitting extents -
if it saw an extent that ovelapped in the middle of an older extent, it would
trim the old extent to only represent the bottom part, assuming that the
original insert would've inserted a new extent to represent the top part.

I still haven't figured out _how_ it can happen, but I'm now pretty convinced
(and testing has confirmed) that there's some kind of an obscure corner case
(probably involving extent merging, and multiple overwrites in different sets)
that breaks this. The fix is to change the mergesort fixup code to split extents
itself when required.

16749c23c0 bcache: New writeback PD controller
The old writeback PD controller could get into states where it had throttled all
the way down and take way too long to recover - it was too complicated to really
understand what it was doing.

This rewrites a good chunk of it to hopefully be simpler and make more sense,
and it also pays more attention to units which should make the behaviour a bit
easier to understand.

6d3d1a9c54 bcache: bugfix for race between moving_gc and bucket_invalidate
There is a possibility for a bucket to be invalidated by the allocator
while moving_gc was copying it's contents to another bucket, if the
bucket only held cached data. To prevent this moving checks for
a stale ptr (to an invalidated bucket), before and after reads.
It it finds one, it simply ignores moving that data. This only
affects bcache if the moving_gc was turned on, note that it's
off by default.

d24a6e1087 bcache: Fix dirty_data accounting
Dirty data accounting wasn't quite right - firstly, we were adding the key we're
inserting after it could have merged with another dirty key already in the

important when tracking dirty data by stripe.

5b564d80f8 dm space map: disallow decrementing a reference count below zero
The old behaviour, returning -EINVAL if a ref_count of 0 would be
decremented, was removed in commit f722063 ("dm space map: optimise
sm_ll_dec and sm_ll_inc").  To fix this regression we return an error
code from the mutator function pointer passed to sm_ll_mutate() and have
dec_ref_count() return -EINVAL if the old ref_count is 0.

Add a DMERR to reflect the potential seriousness of this error.

Also, add missing dm_tm_unlock() to sm_ll_mutate()'s error path.

With this fix the following dmts regression test now passes:
 dmtest run --suite cache -n /metadata_use_kernel/

The next patch fixes the higher-level dm-array code that exposed this
regression.

088448007b dm cache: actually resize cache
Commit f494a9c6b1 ("dm cache: cache
shrinking support") broke cache resizing support.

dm_cache_resize() is called with cache->cache_size before it gets
updated to new_size, so it is a no-op.  But the dm-cache superblock is
updated with the new_size even though the backing dm-array is not
resized.  Fix this by passing the new_size to dm_cache_resize().

af95e7a69b dm cache policy mq: fix promotions to occur as expected
Micro benchmarks that repeatedly issued IO to a single block were
failing to cause a promotion from the origin device to the cache.  Fix
this by not updating the stats during map() if -EWOULDBLOCK will be
returned.

The mq policy will only update stats, consider migration, etc, once per
tick period (a unit of time established between dm-cache core and the
policies).

When the IO thread calls the policy's map method, if it would like to
migrate the associated block it returns -EWOULDBLOCK, the IO then gets
handed over to a worker thread which handles the migration.  The worker
thread calls map again, to check the migration is still needed (avoids a
race among other things).  *BUT*, before this fix, if we were still in
the same tick period the stats were already updated by the previous map
call -- so the migration would no longer be requested.

9b7aaa64f9 dm thin: allow pool in read-only mode to transition to read-write mode
A thin-pool may be in read-only mode because the pool's data or metadata
space was exhausted.  To allow for recovery, by adding more space to the
pool, we must allow a pool to transition from PM_READ_ONLY to PM_WRITE
mode.  Otherwise, running out of space will render the pool permanently
read-only.

5383ef3a92 dm thin: re-establish read-only state when switching to fail mode
If the thin-pool transitioned to fail mode and the thin-pool's table
were reloaded for some reason: the new table's default pool mode would
be read-write, though it will transition to fail mode during resume.

When the pool mode transitions directly from PM_WRITE to PM_FAIL we need
to re-establish the intermediate read-only state in both the metadata
and persistent-data block manager (as is usually done with the normal
pool mode transition sequence: PM_WRITE -> PM_READ_ONLY -> PM_FAIL).
