[PATCHi v4] rcu/kvfree: Prevents cache growing when the backoff_page_cache_fill is set

From: Zqiang
Date: Tue Apr 11 2023 - 10:27:43 EST


Currently, in kfree_rcu_shrink_scan(), the drain_page_cache() is
executed before kfree_rcu_monitor() to drain page cache, if the bnode
structure's->gp_snap has done, the kvfree_rcu_bulk() will fill the
page cache again in kfree_rcu_monitor(), this commit add a check
for krcp structure's->backoff_page_cache_fill in put_cached_bnode(),
if the krcp structure's->backoff_page_cache_fill is set, prevent page
cache growing and start fill page from krcp->nr_bkv_objs, if the
krcp->nr_bkv_objs is greater or equal to nr_pages, not alloc page,
avoid unnecessary __get_free_page() calls.
