Subject: [PATCH 14/17] bcache: back to cache all readahead I/Os
Date: Fri, 24 Jan 2020 01:01:39 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200123170142.98974-15-colyli@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200123170142.98974-1-colyli@suse.de>
From: Coly Li <colyli@suse.de>
In year 2007 high performance SSD was still expensive, in order to
save more space for real workload or meta data, the readahead I/Os
for non-meta data was bypassed and not cached on SSD.
In now days, SSD price drops a lot and people can find larger size
SSD with more comfortable price. It is unncessary to bypass normal
readahead I/Os to save SSD space for now.
This patch removes the code which checks REQ_RAHEAD tag of bio in
check_should_bypass(), then all readahead I/Os will be cached on SSD.
NOTE: this patch still keeps the checking of "REQ_META|REQ_PRIO" in
should_writeback(), because we still want to cache meta data I/Os
even they are asynchronized.
