[PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 063/210] bcache: Change refill_dirty() to always scan entire disk if necessary

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Thu Jan 28 2016 - 21:04:46 EST


3.19.8-ckt14 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 627ccd20b4ad3ba836472468208e2ac4dfadbf03 upstream.

Previously, it would only scan the entire disk if it was starting from
the very start of the disk - i.e. if the previous scan got to the end.

This was broken by refill_full_stripes(), which updates last_scanned so
that refill_dirty was never triggering the searched_from_start path.

But if we change refill_dirty() to always scan the entire disk if
necessary, regardless of what last_scanned was, the code gets cleaner
and we fix that bug too.
