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.
