    bcache: set writeback_percent in a flexible range · cc38ca7e

    Because CUTOFF_WRITEBACK is defined as 40, so before the changes of
    dynamic cutoff writeback values, writeback_percent is limited to [0,
    CUTOFF_WRITEBACK]. Any value larger than CUTOFF_WRITEBACK will be fixed
    up to 40.
    
    Now cutof writeback limit is a dynamic value bch_cutoff_writeback, so
    the range of writeback_percent can be a more flexible range as [0,
    bch_cutoff_writeback]. The flexibility is, it can be expended to a
    larger or smaller range than [0, 40], depends on how value
    bch_cutoff_writeback is specified.
    
    The default value is still strongly recommended to most of users for
    most of workloads. But for people who want to do research on bcache
    writeback perforamnce tuning, they may have chance to specify more
    flexible writeback_percent in range [0, 70].
