[ Upstream commit d2d05b88035d2d51a5bb6c5afec88a0880c73df4 ]
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.
