Kent Overstreet 54d12f2b4f bcache: Advertise that flushes are supported
Whoops - bcache's flush/FUA was mostly correct, but flushes get filtered
out unless we say we support them...

Kent Overstreet 8e51e414a3 bcache: Use standard utility code
Some of bcache's utility code has made it into the rest of the kernel,
so drop the bcache versions.

Bcache used to have a workaround for allocating from a bio set under
generic_make_request() (if you allocated more than once, the bios you
already allocated would get stuck on current->bio_list when you
submitted, and you'd risk deadlock) - bcache would mask out __GFP_WAIT
when allocating bios under generic_make_request() so that allocation
could fail and it could retry from workqueue. But bio_alloc_bioset() has
a workaround now, so we can drop this hack and the associated error
handling.

Kent Overstreet e49c7c374e bcache: FUA fixes
Journal writes need to be marked FUA, not just REQ_FLUSH. And btree node
writes have... weird ordering requirements.

Kent Overstreet 72c270612b bcache: Write out full stripes
Now that we're tracking dirty data per stripe, we can add two
optimizations for raid5/6:

 * If a stripe is already dirty, force writes to that stripe to
   writeback mode - to help build up full stripes of dirty data

 * When flushing dirty data, preferentially write out full stripes first
   if there are any.

Kent Overstreet 279afbad4e bcache: Track dirty data by stripe
To make background writeback aware of raid5/6 stripes, we first need to
track the amount of dirty data within each stripe - we do this by
breaking up the existing sectors_dirty into per stripe atomic_ts

Kent Overstreet c37511b863 bcache: Fix/revamp tracepoints
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.

Kent Overstreet cafe563591 bcache: A block layer cache
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.
