Subject[PATCH 3.12 087/206] dm bufio: when done scanning return from __scan immediately
Date
From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 0e825862f3c04cee40e25f55680333728a4ffa9b upstream.

When __scan frees the required number of buffer entries that the
shrinker requested (nr_to_scan becomes zero) it must return. Before
this fix the __scan code exited only the inner loop and continued in the
outer loop -- which could result in reduced performance due to extra
buffers being freed (e.g. unnecessarily evicted thinp metadata needing
to be synchronously re-read into bufio's cache).

Also, move dm_bufio_cond_resched to __scan's inner loop, so that
iterating the bufio client's lru lists doesn't result in scheduling
latency.
