Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 25/37] bcache: at least try to shrink 1 node in bch_mca_scan()
Date: Wed, 11 Dec 2019 10:38:01 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191211153813.24126-25-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191211153813.24126-1-sashal@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 9fcc34b1a6dd4b8e5337e2b6ef45e428897eca6b ]

In bch_mca_scan(), the number of shrinking btree node is calculated
by code like this,
	unsigned long nr = sc->nr_to_scan;

        nr /= c->btree_pages;
        nr = min_t(unsigned long, nr, mca_can_free(c));
variable sc->nr_to_scan is number of objects (here is bcache B+tree
nodes' number) to shrink, and pointer variable sc is sent from memory
management code as parametr of a callback.

If sc->nr_to_scan is smaller than c->btree_pages, after the above
calculation, variable 'nr' will be 0 and nothing will be shrunk. It is
frequeently observed that only 1 or 2 is set to sc->nr_to_scan and make
nr to be zero. Then bch_mca_scan() will do nothing more then acquiring
and releasing mutex c->bucket_lock.

This patch checkes whether nr is 0 after the above calculation, if 0
is the result then set 1 to variable 'n'. Then at least bch_mca_scan()
will try to shrink a single B+tree node.
