[ Upstream commit d2d05b8803 ]
Inside set_at_max_writeback_rate() the calculation in following if()
check is wrong,
if (atomic_inc_return(&c->idle_counter) <
atomic_read(&c->attached_dev_nr) * 6)
Because each attached backing device has its own writeback thread
running and increasing c->idle_counter, the counter increates much
faster than expected. The correct calculation should be,
(counter / dev_nr) < dev_nr * 6
which equals to,
counter < dev_nr * dev_nr * 6
This patch fixes the above mistake with correct calculation, and helper
routine idle_counter_exceeded() is added to make code be more clear.
