commit 80db4e4707e78cb22287da7d058d7274bd4cb370 upstream.
After making bch_sectors_dirty_init() being multithreaded, the existing
incremental dirty sector counting in bch_root_node_dirty_init() doesn't
release btree occupation after iterating 500000 (INIT_KEYS_EACH_TIME)
bkeys. Because a read lock is added on btree root node to prevent the
btree to be split during the dirty sectors counting, other I/O requester
has no chance to gain the write lock even restart bcache_btree().
That is to say, the incremental dirty sectors counting is incompatible
to the multhreaded bch_sectors_dirty_init(). We have to choose one and
drop another one.
In my testing, with 512 bytes random writes, I generate 1.2T dirty data
and a btree with 400K nodes. With single thread and incremental dirty
sectors counting, it takes 30+ minites to register the backing device.
And with multithreaded dirty sectors counting, the backing device
registration can be accomplished within 2 minutes.
The 30+ minutes V.S. 2- minutes difference makes me decide to keep
multithreaded bch_sectors_dirty_init() and drop the incremental dirty
sectors counting. This is what this patch does.
But INIT_KEYS_EACH_TIME is kept, in sectors_dirty_init_fn() the CPU
will be released by cond_resched() after every INIT_KEYS_EACH_TIME keys
iterated. This is to avoid the watchdog reports a bogus soft lockup
warning.

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.
