This patch base on "[PATCH] bcache: finish incremental GC". Since incremental GC would stop 100ms when front side I/O comes, so when there are many btree nodes, if GC only processes constant (100) nodes each time, GC would last a long time, and the front I/Os would run out of the buckets (since no new bucket can be allocated during GC), and I/Os be blocked again. So GC should not process constant nodes, but varied nodes according to the number of btree nodes. In this patch, GC is divided into constant (100) times, so when there are many btree nodes, GC can process more nodes each time, otherwise GC will process less nodes each time (but no less than MIN_GC_NODES).

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
