When gc is running, user space I/O processes may wait inside bcache code, so no new I/O coming. Indeed this is not a real idle time, maximum writeback rate should not be set in such situation. Otherwise a faster writeback thread may compete locks with gc thread and makes garbage collection slower, which results a longer I/O freeze period. This patch checks c->gc_mark_valid in set_at_max_writeback_rate(). If c->gc_mark_valid is 0 (gc running), set_at_max_writeback_rate() returns false, then update_writeback_rate() will not set writeback rate to maximum value even c->idle_counter reaches an idle threshold. Now writeback thread won't interfere gc thread performance. 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.
