bcache: introduce meta_bucket_pages() related helper routines
Currently the in-memory meta data like c->uuids or c->disk_buckets
are allocated by alloc_bucket_pages(). The macro alloc_bucket_pages()
calls __get_free_pages() to allocated continuous pages with order
indicated by ilog2(bucket_pages(c)),
#define alloc_bucket_pages(gfp, c) \
((void *) __get_free_pages(__GFP_ZERO|gfp, ilog2(bucket_pages(c))))
The maximum order is defined as MAX_ORDER, the default value is 11 (and
can be overwritten by CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER). In bcache code the
maximum bucket size width is 16bits, this is restricted both by KEY_SIZE
size and bucket_size size from struct cache_sb_disk. The maximum 16bits
width and power-of-2 value is (1<<15) in unit of sector (512byte). It
means the maximum value of bucket size in bytes is (1<<24) bytes a.k.a
4096 pages.
When the bucket size is set to maximum permitted value, ilog2(4096) is
12, which exceeds the default maximum order __get_free_pages() can
accepted, the failed pages allocation will fail cache set registration
procedure and print a kernel oops message for the exceeded pages order.
This patch introduces meta_bucket_pages(), meta_bucket_bytes(), and
alloc_bucket_pages() helper routines. meta_bucket_pages() indicates the
maximum pages can be allocated to meta data bucket, meta_bucket_bytes()
indicates the according maximum bytes, and alloc_bucket_pages() does
the pages allocation for meta bucket. Because meta_bucket_pages()
chooses the smaller value among the bucket size and MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES,
it still works when MAX_ORDER overwritten by CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER.
Following patches will use these helper routines to decide maximum pages
can be allocated for different meta data buckets. If the bucket size is
larger than meta_bucket_bytes(), the bcache registration can continue to
success, just the space more than meta_bucket_bytes() inside the bucket
is wasted. Comparing bcache failed for large bucket size, wasting some
space for meta data buckets is acceptable at this moment.
