Subject: bcache: introduce force_wake_up_gc()
X-Git-Tag: v5.15~7255^2~63
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cb07ad63682ffcce10e9beaed7828a26780e3df9;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-starfive.git

bcache: introduce force_wake_up_gc()

Garbage collection thread starts to work when c->sectors_to_gc is
negative value, otherwise nothing will happen even the gc thread is
woken up by wake_up_gc().

force_wake_up_gc() sets c->sectors_to_gc to -1 before calling
wake_up_gc(), then gc thread may have chance to run if no one else sets
c->sectors_to_gc to a positive value before gc_should_run().

This routine can be called where the gc thread is woken up and required
to run in force.
