We will write /proc/net/rpc/xxx/flush if we want to clean cache_detail. This updates nextcheck to the current time and calls cache_flush --> cache_clean to clean cache_detail. If we write this interface again within one second, it will only increase flush_time and nextcheck without actually cleaning cache_detail. Therefore, if we keep writing this interface repeatedly within one second, flush_time and nextcheck will keep increasing, even far exceeding the current time, making it impossible to clear cache_detail through the flush interface or cache_cleaner. If someone frequently calls the flush interface, we should immediately clean the corresponding cache_detail instead of continuously accumulating nextcheck.
