2  * Primary bucket allocation code
3  *
4  * Copyright 2012 Google, Inc.
5  *
6  * Allocation in bcache is done in terms of buckets:
7  *
8  * Each bucket has associated an 8 bit gen; this gen corresponds to the gen in
9  * btree pointers - they must match for the pointer to be considered valid.
10  *
11  * Thus (assuming a bucket has no dirty data or metadata in it) we can reuse a
12  * bucket simply by incrementing its gen.
13  *
14  * The gens (along with the priorities; it's really the gens are important but
15  * the code is named as if it's the priorities) are written in an arbitrary list
16  * of buckets on disk, with a pointer to them in the journal header.
17  *
18  * When we invalidate a bucket, we have to write its new gen to disk and wait
19  * for that write to complete before we use it - otherwise after a crash we
20  * could have pointers that appeared to be good but pointed to data that had
21  * been overwritten.
22  *
23  * Since the gens and priorities are all stored contiguously on disk, we can
24  * batch this up: We fill up the free_inc list with freshly invalidated buckets,
25  * call prio_write(), and when prio_write() finishes we pull buckets off the
26  * free_inc list and optionally discard them.
27  *
28  * free_inc isn't the only freelist - if it was, we'd often to sleep while
29  * priorities and gens were being written before we could allocate. c->free is a
30  * smaller freelist, and buckets on that list are always ready to be used.
31  *
32  * If we've got discards enabled, that happens when a bucket moves from the
33  * free_inc list to the free list.
34  *
35  * There is another freelist, because sometimes we have buckets that we know
36  * have nothing pointing into them - these we can reuse without waiting for
37  * priorities to be rewritten. These come from freed btree nodes and buckets
38  * that garbage collection discovered no longer had valid keys pointing into
39  * them (because they were overwritten). That's the unused list - buckets on the
40  * unused list move to the free list, optionally being discarded in the process.
41  *
42  * It's also important to ensure that gens don't wrap around - with respect to
43  * either the oldest gen in the btree or the gen on disk. This is quite
44  * difficult to do in practice, but we explicitly guard against it anyways - if
45  * a bucket is in danger of wrapping around we simply skip invalidating it that
46  * time around, and we garbage collect or rewrite the priorities sooner than we
47  * would have otherwise.
48  *
49  * bch_bucket_alloc() allocates a single bucket from a specific cache.
50  *
51  * bch_bucket_alloc_set() allocates one or more buckets from different caches
52  * out of a cache set.
53  *
54  * free_some_buckets() drives all the processes described above. It's called
55  * from bch_bucket_alloc() and a few other places that need to make sure free
56  * buckets are ready.
57  *
58  * invalidate_buckets_(lru|fifo)() find buckets that are available to be
59  * invalidated, and then invalidate them and stick them on the free_inc list -
60  * in either lru or fifo order.
