From: Sahitya Tummala <stummala@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ 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.
