Read /sys/fs/bcache/<uuid>/cacheN/priority_stats can take very long
time with huge cache after long run.

Hi Shile,

Do you test your change ? It will be helpful with more performance data
(what problem that you improved).

In case of 960GB SSD cache device, once read of the 'priority_stats' costs about 600ms in our test environment.

The perf tool shown that near 50% CPU time consumed by 'sort()', this means once sort will hold the CPU near 300ms.

In our case, the statistics collector reads the 'priority_stats' periodically, it will trigger the schedule latency jitters of the

task which shared same CPU core.


Thanks.
