The member 'accessed' of struct btree is used in bch_mca_scan() when shrinking btree node caches. The original idea is, if b->accessed is set, clean it and look at next btree node cache from c->btree_cache list, and only shrink the caches whose b->accessed is cleaned. Then only cold btree node cache will be shrunk. But when I/O pressure is high, it is very probably that b->accessed of a btree node cache will be set again in bch_btree_node_get() before bch_mca_scan() selects it again. Then there is no chance for bch_mca_scan() to shrink enough memory back to slub or slab system. This patch removes member accessed from struct btree, then once a btree node ache is selected, it will be immediately shunk. By this change, bch_mca_scan() may release btree node cahce more efficiently. Signed-off-by: Coly Li <colyli@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
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.
