Subject: [PATCH 5.18 841/879] bcache: remove incremental dirty sector counting for bch_sectors_dirty_init()

From: Coly Li <colyli@...e.de>

commit 80db4e4707e78cb22287da7d058d7274bd4cb370 upstream.

After making bch_sectors_dirty_init() being multithreaded, the existing
incremental dirty sector counting in bch_root_node_dirty_init() doesn't
release btree occupation after iterating 500000 (INIT_KEYS_EACH_TIME)
bkeys. Because a read lock is added on btree root node to prevent the
btree to be split during the dirty sectors counting, other I/O requester
has no chance to gain the write lock even restart bcache_btree().

That is to say, the incremental dirty sectors counting is incompatible
to the multhreaded bch_sectors_dirty_init(). We have to choose one and
drop another one.

In my testing, with 512 bytes random writes, I generate 1.2T dirty data
and a btree with 400K nodes. With single thread and incremental dirty
sectors counting, it takes 30+ minites to register the backing device.
And with multithreaded dirty sectors counting, the backing device
registration can be accomplished within 2 minutes.

The 30+ minutes V.S. 2- minutes difference makes me decide to keep
multithreaded bch_sectors_dirty_init() and drop the incremental dirty
sectors counting. This is what this patch does.

But INIT_KEYS_EACH_TIME is kept, in sectors_dirty_init_fn() the CPU
will be released by cond_resched() after every INIT_KEYS_EACH_TIME keys
iterated. This is to avoid the watchdog reports a bogus soft lockup
warning.
