Coly Li c954ac8d66 bcache: handle cache prio_buckets and disk_buckets properly for bucket size > 8MB
Similar to c->uuids, struct cache's prio_buckets and disk_buckets also
have the potential memory allocation failure during cache registration
if the bucket size > 8MB.

ca->prio_buckets can be stored on cache device in multiple buckets, its
in-memory space is allocated by kzalloc() interface but normally
allocated by alloc_pages() because the size > KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE.

So allocation of ca->prio_buckets has the MAX_ORDER restriction too. If
the bucket size > 8MB, by default the page allocator will fail because
the page order > 11 (default MAX_ORDER value). ca->prio_buckets should
also use meta_bucket_bytes(), meta_bucket_pages() to decide its memory
size and use alloc_meta_bucket_pages() to allocate pages, to avoid the
allocation failure during cache set registration when bucket size > 8MB.

ca->disk_buckets is a single bucket size memory buffer, it is used to
iterate each bucket of ca->prio_buckets, and compose the bio based on
memory of ca->disk_buckets, then write ca->disk_buckets memory to cache
disk one-by-one for each bucket of ca->prio_buckets. ca->disk_buckets
should have in-memory size exact to the meta_bucket_pages(), this is the
size that ca->prio_buckets will be stored into each on-disk bucket.

This patch fixes the above issues and handle cache's prio_buckets and
disk_buckets properly for bucket size larger than 8MB.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
