Bcache uses struct bbio to do I/Os for meta data pages like uuids, disk_buckets, prio_buckets, and btree nodes. Example writing a btree node onto cache device, the process is, - Allocate a struct bbio from mempool c->bio_meta. - Inside struct bbio embedded a struct bio, initialize bi_inline_vecs for this embedded bio. - Call bch_bio_map() to map each meta data page to each bv from the inlined bi_io_vec table. - Call bch_submit_bbio() to submit the bio into underlying block layer. - When the I/O completed, only release the struct bbio, don't touch the reference counter of the meta data pages. The struct bbio is defined as, 738 struct bbio { 739 unsigned int submit_time_us; [snipped] 748 struct bio bio; 749 }; Because struct bio is embedded at the end of struct bbio, therefore the actual size of struct bbio is sizeof(struct bio) + size of the embedded bio->bi_inline_vecs. Now all the meta data bucket size are limited to meta_bucket_pages(), if the bucket size is large than meta_bucket_pages()*PAGE_SECTORS, rested space in the bucket is unused. Therefore the most used space in meta bucket is (1<<MAX_ORDER) pages, or (1<<CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER) if it is configured. Therefore for large bucket size, it is unnecessary to calculate the allocation size of mempool c->bio_meta as, mempool_init_kmalloc_pool(&c->bio_meta, 2, sizeof(struct bbio) + sizeof(struct bio_vec) * bucket_pages(c)) It is too large, neither the Linux buddy allocator cannot allocate so much continuous pages, nor the extra allocated pages are wasted. This patch replace bucket_pages() to meta_bucket_pages() in two places, - In bch_cache_set_alloc(), when initialize mempool c->bio_meta, uses sizeof(struct bbio) + sizeof(struct bio_vec) * bucket_pages(c) to set the allocating object size. - In bch_bbio_alloc(), when calling bio_init() to set inline bvec talbe bi_inline_bvecs, uses meta_bucket_pages() to indicate number of the inline bio vencs number. Now the maximum size of embedded bio inside struct bbio exactly matches the limit of meta_bucket_pages(), no extra page wasted.
