Garbage collection thread starts to work when c->sectors_to_gc is negative value, otherwise nothing will happen even the gc thread is woken up by wake_up_gc(). force_wake_up_gc() sets c->sectors_to_gc to -1 before calling wake_up_gc(), then gc thread may have chance to run if no one else sets c->sectors_to_gc to a positive value before gc_should_run(). This routine can be called where the gc thread is woken up and required to run in force. Signed-off-by: Coly Li <colyli@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
