Similar to c->uuids, struct cache's prio_buckets and disk_buckets also have the potential memory allocation failure during cache registration if the bucket size > 8MB. ca->prio_buckets can be stored on cache device in multiple buckets, its in-memory space is allocated by kzalloc() interface but normally allocated by alloc_pages() because the size > KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE. So allocation of ca->prio_buckets has the MAX_ORDER restriction too. If the bucket size > 8MB, by default the page allocator will fail because the page order > 11 (default MAX_ORDER value). ca->prio_buckets should also use meta_bucket_bytes(), meta_bucket_pages() to decide its memory size and use alloc_meta_bucket_pages() to allocate pages, to avoid the allocation failure during cache set registration when bucket size > 8MB. ca->disk_buckets is a single bucket size memory buffer, it is used to iterate each bucket of ca->prio_buckets, and compose the bio based on memory of ca->disk_buckets, then write ca->disk_buckets memory to cache disk one-by-one for each bucket of ca->prio_buckets. ca->disk_buckets should have in-memory size exact to the meta_bucket_pages(), this is the size that ca->prio_buckets will be stored into each on-disk bucket. This patch fixes the above issues and handle cache's prio_buckets and disk_buckets properly for bucket size larger than 8MB.

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.
