In order to skip the most recently freed btree node cahce, currently
in bch_mca_scan() the first 3 caches in c->btree_cache_freeable list
are skipped when shrinking bcache node caches in bch_mca_scan(). The
related code in bch_mca_scan() is,
737 list_for_each_entry_safe(b, t, &c->btree_cache_freeable, list) {
738 if (nr <= 0)
739 goto out;
740
741 if (++i > 3 &&
742 !mca_reap(b, 0, false)) {
lines free cache memory
746 }
747 nr--;
748 }
The problem is, if virtual memory code calls bch_mca_scan() and
the calculated 'nr' is 1 or 2, then in the above loop, nothing will
be shunk. In such case, if slub/slab manager calls bch_mca_scan()
for many times with small scan number, it does not help to shrink
cache memory and just wasts CPU cycles.
This patch just selects btree node caches from tail of the
c->btree_cache_freeable list, then the newly freed host cache can
still be allocated by mca_alloc(), and at least 1 node can be shunk.

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.
