Hi Jaegeuk,
With the change in the value of GC_THREAD_NOGC_SLEEP_TIME to 600000,
we will need to rewrite the gc_thread_func().
As there will be several paths which will not be reached or will have
no meaning after this change.
Considering the cases:
/* if return value is not zero, no victim was selected */
if (f2fs_gc(sbi))
wait_ms = GC_THREAD_NOGC_SLEEP_TIME;
else if (wait_ms == GC_THREAD_NOGC_SLEEP_TIME)
wait_ms = GC_THREAD_MAX_SLEEP_TIME;
Before this point, there are ‘2’ functions to change ‘wait_ms” ->
increase_sleep_time and decrease_sleep_time.
When we consider increase_sleep_time() - the maximum possible value
for ‘wait_ms’ after coming out of this can be:
GC_THREAD_MAX_SLEEP_TIME
And in case in the last iteration it was set to
GC_THREAD_NOGC_SLEEP_TIME, once it enters increase_sleep_time() - the
value will be reseted to maximum GC_THREAD_MAX_SLEEP_TIME.
So,
else if (wait_ms == GC_THREAD_NOGC_SLEEP_TIME)
wait_ms = GC_THREAD_MAX_SLEEP_TIME;
becomes unreachable path.
And second, maybe, After setting to GC_THREAD_NOGC_SLEEP_TIME(10min),
Although there are invalid blocks, GC thread might be sleep 9min
50sec.
Let me know your opinion.
Thanks.
