commit 4dc34ae1b45fe26e772a44379f936c72623dd407 upstream.
Commit b144e45fc576 ("bcache: make bch_sectors_dirty_init() to be
multithreaded") makes bch_sectors_dirty_init() to be much faster
when counting dirty sectors by iterating all dirty keys in the btree.
But it isn't in ideal shape yet, still can be improved.
This patch does the following changes to improve current parallel dirty
keys iteration on the btree,
- Add read lock to root node when multiple threads iterating the btree,
to prevent the root node gets split by I/Os from other registered
bcache devices.
- Remove local variable "char name[32]" and generate kernel thread name
string directly when calling kthread_run().
- Allocate "struct bch_dirty_init_state state" directly on stack and
avoid the unnecessary dynamic memory allocation for it.
- Decrease BCH_DIRTY_INIT_THRD_MAX from 64 to 12 which is enough indeed.
- Increase &state->started to count created kernel thread after it
succeeds to create.
- When wait for all dirty key counting threads to finish, use
wait_event() to replace wait_event_interruptible().
With the above changes, the code is more clear, and some potential error
conditions are avoided.

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.
