From 0e825862f3c04cee40e25f55680333728a4ffa9b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikulas Patocka Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2014 13:29:48 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] dm bufio: when done scanning return from __scan immediately When __scan frees the required number of buffer entries that the shrinker requested (nr_to_scan becomes zero) it must return. Before this fix the __scan code exited only the inner loop and continued in the outer loop -- which could result in reduced performance due to extra buffers being freed (e.g. unnecessarily evicted thinp metadata needing to be synchronously re-read into bufio's cache). Also, move dm_bufio_cond_resched to __scan's inner loop, so that iterating the bufio client's lru lists doesn't result in scheduling latency.
