Tang Junhui c4dc2497d5 bcache: fix high CPU occupancy during journal 
After long time small writing I/O running, we found the occupancy of CPU
is very high and I/O performance has been reduced by about half:

The kernel work consumed a lot of CPU, and I found they are running journal
work, The journal is reclaiming source and flush btree node with surprising
frequency.

Through further analysis, we found that in btree_flush_write(), we try to
get a btree node with the smallest fifo idex to flush by traverse all the
btree nodein c->bucket_hash, after we getting it, since no locker protects
it, this btree node may have been written to cache device by other works,
and if this occurred, we retry to traverse in c->bucket_hash and get
another btree node. When the problem occurrd, the retry times is very high,
and we consume a lot of CPU in looking for a appropriate btree node.

In this patch, we try to record 128 btree nodes with the smallest fifo idex
in heap, and pop one by one when we need to flush btree node. It greatly
reduces the time for the loop to find the appropriate BTREE node, and also
reduce the occupancy of CPU.

[note by mpl: this triggers a checkpatch error because of adjacent,
pre-existing style violations]

README 

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
