Mempool c->fill_iter is used to allocate memory for struct btree_iter in bch_btree_node_read_done() to iterate all keys of a read-in btree node. The allocation size is defined in bch_cache_set_alloc() by, mempool_init_kmalloc_pool(&c->fill_iter, 1, iter_size)) where iter_size is defined by a calculation, (sb->bucket_size / sb->block_size + 1) * sizeof(struct btree_iter_set) For 16bit width bucket_size the calculation is OK, but now the bucket size is extended to 32bit, the bucket size can be 2GB. By the above calculation, iter_size can be 2048 pages (order 11 is still accepted by buddy allocator). But the actual size holds the bkeys in meta data bucket is limited to meta_bucket_pages() already, which is 16MB. By the above calculation, if replace sb->bucket_size by meta_bucket_pages() * PAGE_SECTORS, the result is 16 pages. This is the size large enough for the mempool allocation to struct btree_iter. Therefore in worst case every time mempool c->fill_iter allocates, at most 4080 pages are wasted and won't be used. Therefore this patch uses meta_bucket_pages() * PAGE_SECTORS to calculate the iter size in bch_cache_set_alloc(), to avoid extra memory allocation from mempool c->fill_iter.
