Subject: [PATCH] bcache: never writeback a discard operation

Some users see panics like the following when performing fstrim on a
bcached volume:

We have observed it where both:
1) LVM/devmapper is involved (bcache backing device is LVM volume) and
2) writeback cache is involved (bcache cache_mode is writeback)

On one machine, we can reliably reproduce it with:

 # echo writeback > /sys/block/bcache0/bcache/cache_mode
   (not sure whether above line is required)
 # mount /dev/bcache0 /test
 # for i in {0..10}; do
	file="$(mktemp /test/zero.XXX)"
	dd if=/dev/zero of="$file" bs=1M count=256
	sync
	rm $file
    done
  # fstrim -v /test

Observing this with tracepoints on, we see the following writes:

<crash>

Note the final one has different hit/bypass flags.

This is because in should_writeback(), we were hitting a case where
the partial stripe condition was returning true and so
should_writeback() was returning true early.

If that hadn't been the case, it would have hit the would_skip test, and
as would_skip == s->iop.bypass == true, should_writeback() would have
returned false.

Looking at the git history from 'commit 72c270612bd3 ("bcache: Write out
full stripes")', it looks like the idea was to optimise for raid5/6:

       * If a stripe is already dirty, force writes to that stripe to
	 writeback mode - to help build up full stripes of dirty data

To fix this issue, make sure that should_writeback() on a discard op
never returns true.
