[17/19] bcache: fix for gc and write-back race

Commit Message

[e-mail] June 28, 2017, 12:41 a.m. UTC

gc and write-back get raced (see the email "bcache get stucked" I sended
before):
gc thread						write-back thread
|							|bch_writeback_thread()
|bch_gc_thread()					|
|							|==>read_dirty()
|==>bch_btree_gc()					|
|==>btree_root() //get btree root			|
|			node write locker		|
|==>bch_btree_gc_root()					|
|							|==>read_dirty_submit()
|							|==>write_dirty()
|							|==>continue_at(cl, write_dirty_finish, system_wq);
|							|==>write_dirty_finish()//excute in system_wq
|							|==>bch_btree_insert()
|							|==>bch_btree_map_leaf_nodes()
|							|==>__bch_btree_map_nodes()
|							|==>btree_root //try to get btree root node read lock
|							|-----stuck here
|==>bch_btree_set_root()				|
|==>bch_journal_meta()					|
|==>bch_journal()					|
|==>journal_try_write()					|
|==>journal_write_unlocked() //journal_full(&c->journal) condition satisfied
|==>continue_at(cl, journal_write, system_wq); //try to excute journal_write in system_wq
|					//but work queue is excuting write_dirty_finish()
|==>closure_sync(); //wait journal_write execute over and wake up gc,
|			--stuck here
|==>release root node write locker

This patch alloc a separate work-queue for write-back thread to avoid such
race.
