bcache: add io_disable to struct cached_dev
If a bcache device is configured to writeback mode, current code does not handle write I/O errors on backing devices properly. In writeback mode, write request is written to cache device, and latter being flushed to backing device. If I/O failed when writing from cache device to the backing device, bcache code just ignores the error and upper layer code is NOT noticed that the backing device is broken. This patch tries to handle backing device failure like how the cache device failure is handled, - Add a error counter 'io_errors' and error limit 'error_limit' in struct cached_dev. Add another io_disable to struct cached_dev to disable I/Os on the problematic backing device. - When I/O error happens on backing device, increase io_errors counter. And if io_errors reaches error_limit, set cache_dev->io_disable to true, and stop the bcache device. The result is, if backing device is broken of disconnected, and I/O errors reach its error limit, backing device will be disabled and the associated bcache device will be removed from system. Changelog: v2: remove "bcache: " prefix in pr_error(), and use correct name string to print out bcache device gendisk name. v1: indeed this is new added in v2 patch set.
