Subject: [PATCH 2/2] xen/blkback: turn the cache purge percent into a parameter
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2020 16:24:16 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201015142416.70294-3-roger.pau@citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201015142416.70294-1-roger.pau@citrix.com>

Assume that reads and writes to the variable will be atomic. The worse
that could happen is that one of the purges removes a partially
written percentage of grants, but the cache itself will recover.
