Subject: [ 06/57] bcache: Fix a writeback performance regression
3.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Kent Overstreet <kmo@...erainc.com>
commit c2a4f3183a1248f615a695fbd8905da55ad11bba upstream.
Background writeback works by scanning the btree for dirty data and
adding those keys into a fixed size buffer, then for each dirty key in
the keybuf writing it to the backing device.
When read_dirty() finishes and it's time to scan for more dirty data, we
need to wait for the outstanding writeback IO to finish - they still
take up slots in the keybuf (so that foreground writes can check for
them to avoid races) - without that wait, we'll continually rescan when
we'll be able to add at most a key or two to the keybuf, and that takes
locks that starves foreground IO. Doh.
