[PATCH 3/3] bcache: support overlay bcache

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Dongsheng Yang <dongsheng.yang@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

If we want to build a bcache device with backing device of a bcache flash device,
we will fail with creating a duplicated sysfs filename.

E.g:
(1) we create bcache0 with vdc, then there is "/sys/block/bcache0/bcache" as a link to "/sys/block/vdc/bcache"
 $ readlink /sys/block/bcache0/bcache
../../../pci0000:00/0000:00:0b.0/virtio4/block/vdc/bcache

(2) if we continue to create bcache1 with bcache0:
 $ make-bcache -B /dev/bcache0

We will fail to register bdev with "sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/block/bcache0/bcache'"

How this commit solving this problem?
E.g:
   we have vdf as cache disk, vdc as backing disk.

 $ make-bcache -C /dev/vdf -B /dev/vdc --wipe-bcache
 $ echo 100G > /sys/block/vdf/bcache_cache/set/flash_vol_create
 $ lsblk
NAME                       MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
vdf                        252:80   0   50G  0 disk
├─bcache0                  251:0    0  100G  0 disk
└─bcache1                  251:128  0  100G  0 disk
vdc                        252:32   0  100G  0 disk
└─bcache0                  251:0    0  100G  0 disk

(a) rename sysfs file to more meaningful name:
(a.2) bcahce_cache -> sysfs filename under cache disk (/sys/block/vdf/bcache_cache)
(a.1) bcache_fdev -> flash bcache device (/sys/block/bcache1/bcache_fdev)
(a.4) bcache_bdev -> sysfs filename for backing disk (/sys/block/vdc/bcache_bdev)
(a.3) bcache_cdev -> link to /sys/block/vdc/bcache_bdev (/sys/block/bcache0/bcache_cdev)

(b) create ->bcache lagacy link file for backward compatability
$ ll /sys/block/vdc/bcache
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Oct 26 11:21 /sys/block/vdc/bcache -> bcache_bdev
$ ll /sys/block/bcache0/bcache
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Oct 26 11:21 /sys/block/bcache0/bcache -> ../../../pci0000:00/0000:00:0b.0/virtio4/block/vdc/bcache_bdev
$ ll /sys/block/bcache1/bcache
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Oct 26 11:19 /sys/block/bcache1/bcache -> bcache_fdev
$ ll /sys/block/vdf/bcache
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Oct 26 11:17 /sys/block/vdf/bcache -> bcache_cache

These link are created with sysfs_create_link_nowarn(), that means, we dont
care about the failure when creating if these links are already created.
Because these lagacy sysfile are only for backwards compatability in no-overlay usecase
of bcache, in the no-overlay use, bcache will never create duplicated link.

In overlay usecase after this commit, please dont use bcache link any more, instead
use bcache_cdev, bcache_fdev, bcache_bdev or bcache_cache.

Then we can create a cached_dev with bcache1 (flash dev) as backing dev.
$ make-bcache -B /dev/bcache1
$ lsblk
NAME                       MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
vdf                        252:80   0   50G  0 disk
├─bcache0                  251:0    0  100G  0 disk
└─bcache1                  251:128  0  100G  0 disk
  └─bcache2                251:256  0  100G  0 disk

As a result there is a cached device bcache2 with backing device of a flash device bcache1.
