[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.19 26/63] bcache: fix set_at_max_writeback_rate() for multiple attached devices

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Coly Li <colyli@suse.de>

[ Upstream commit d2d05b88035d2d51a5bb6c5afec88a0880c73df4 ]

Inside set_at_max_writeback_rate() the calculation in following if()
check is wrong,
	if (atomic_inc_return(&c->idle_counter) <
	    atomic_read(&c->attached_dev_nr) * 6)

Because each attached backing device has its own writeback thread
running and increasing c->idle_counter, the counter increates much
faster than expected. The correct calculation should be,
	(counter / dev_nr) < dev_nr * 6
which equals to,
	counter < dev_nr * dev_nr * 6

This patch fixes the above mistake with correct calculation, and helper
routine idle_counter_exceeded() is added to make code be more clear.
