The default behavior of arc_evict_ghost() is to start by evicting data buffers. Then only if the requested number of bytes to evict cannot be satisfied by data buffers move on to meta data buffers. This is ideal for honoring arc_c since it's preferable to keep the meta data cached. However, if we're trying to free memory from the arc to honor the meta limit it's a problem because we will need to discard all the data to get to the meta data. To avoid this issue the arc_evict_ghost() is now passed a fourth argumented describing which buffer type to start with. The arc_evict() function already behaves exactly like this for a same reason so this is consistent with the existing code. All existing callers have been updated to pass ARC_BUFC_DATA so this patch introduces no functional change. New callers may pass ARC_BUFC_METADATA to skip immediately to evicting meta data leaving the normal data untouched. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> |
