From e41166c5c44e30dbd620f7c77a27efe5d5cc551a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Lyle Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2017 16:35:38 -0700 Subject: bcache: writeback rate shouldn't artifically clamp The previous code artificially limited writeback rate to 1000000 blocks/second (NSEC_PER_MSEC), which is a rate that can be met on fast hardware. The rate limiting code works fine (though with decreased precision) up to 3 orders of magnitude faster, so use NSEC_PER_SEC. Additionally, ensure that uint32_t is used as a type for rate throughout the rate management so that type checking/clamp_t can work properly. bch_next_delay should be rewritten for increased precision and better handling of high rates and long sleep periods, but this is adequate for now.
