[ Upstream commit 56659ce838456c6f2315ce8a4bd686ac4b23e9d1 ]
The discard thread should issue upto dpolicy->max_requests at once
and wait for all those discard requests at once it reaches
dpolicy->max_requests. It should then sleep for dpolicy->min_interval
timeout before issuing the next batch of discard requests. But in the
current code of is_idle(), it checks for dcc_info->queued_discard and
aborts issuing the discard batch of max_requests. This
dcc_info->queued_discard will be true always once one discard command
is issued.
It is thus resulting into this type of discard request pattern -
- Issue discard request#1
- is_idle() returns false, discard thread waits for request#1 and then
sleeps for min_interval 50ms.
- Issue discard request#2
- is_idle() returns false, discard thread waits for request#2 and then
sleeps for min_interval 50ms.
- and so on for all other discard requests, assuming f2fs is idle w.r.t
other conditions.
With this fix, the pattern will look like this -
- Issue discard request#1
- Issue discard request#2
and so on upto max_requests of 8
- Issue discard request#8
- wait for min_interval 50ms.
