[(resend) PATCH v3: {linux-4.14.y} ] dm cache: submit writethrough writes in parallel to origin and cache

From: John Donnelly
Date: Tue Aug 04 2020 - 08:35:14 EST


From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@xxxxxxxxxx>

Discontinue issuing writethrough write IO in series to the origin and
then cache.

Use bio_clone_fast() to create a new origin clone bio that will be
mapped to the origin device and then bio_chain() it to the bio that gets
remapped to the cache device. The origin clone bio does _not_ have a
copy of the per_bio_data -- as such check_if_tick_bio_needed() will not
be called.

The cache bio (parent bio) will not complete until the origin bio has
completed -- this fulfills bio_clone_fast()'s requirements as well as
the requirement to not complete the original IO until the write IO has
completed to both the origin and cache device.

Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@xxxxxxxxxx>

(cherry picked from commit 2df3bae9a6543e90042291707b8db0cbfbae9ee9)

Fixes: 4ec34f2196d125ff781170ddc6c3058c08ec5e73 (dm bio record:
save/restore bi_end_io and bi_integrity )

4ec34f21 introduced a mkfs.ext4 hang on a LVM device that has been
modified with lvconvert --cachemode=writethrough.

drivers/md/dm-cache-target.c. - Corrected usage of
writethrough_mode(&cache->feature) that was caught by
compiler, and removed unused static functions : writethrough_endio(),
defer_writethrough_bio(), wake_deferred_writethrough_worker()
that generated warnings.
