[PATCH v2 1/3] md/bitmap: Add chunk-threshold unplugging

From: Jonathan Derrick
Date: Thu Oct 13 2022 - 18:45:23 EST


Add a mechanism to allow bitmap unplugging and flushing to wait until it
has surpassed a defined threshold of dirty chunks. This allows certain
high I/O write workloads to make good forward progress between bitmap
updates or provide reliable bitmap consistency. The default behavior is
previous behavior of always unplugging when called.
