Andrea Righi 47a417e7cf bcache: fix deadlock in bcache_allocator
[ Upstream commit 84c529aea182939e68f618ed9813740c9165c7eb ]

bcache_allocator can call the following:

 bch_allocator_thread()
  -> bch_prio_write()
     -> bch_bucket_alloc()
        -> wait on &ca->set->bucket_wait

But the wake up event on bucket_wait is supposed to come from
bch_allocator_thread() itself => deadlock:

[ 1158.490744] INFO: task bcache_allocato:15861 blocked for more than 10 seconds.

[ 1158.504510]  ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40

Fix by making the call to bch_prio_write() non-blocking, so that
bch_allocator_thread() never waits on itself.

Moreover, make sure to wake up the garbage collector thread when
bch_prio_write() is failing to allocate buckets.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
