bcache: add comment for cache_set->fill_iter
We have the following define for btree iterator: struct btree_iter { size_t size, used; #ifdef CONFIG_BCACHE_DEBUG struct btree_keys *b; #endif struct btree_iter_set { struct bkey *k, *end; } data[MAX_BSETS]; }; We can see that the length of data[] field is static MAX_BSETS, which is defined as 4 currently. But a btree node on disk could have too many bsets for an iterator to fit on the stack - maybe far more that MAX_BSETS. Have to dynamically allocate space to host more btree_iter_sets. bch_cache_set_alloc() will make sure the pool cache_set->fill_iter can allocate an iterator equipped with enough room that can host (sb.bucket_size / sb.block_size) btree_iter_sets, which is more than static MAX_BSETS. bch_btree_node_read_done() will use that pool to allocate one iterator, to host many bsets in one btree node. Add more comment around cache_set->fill_iter to make code less confusing.
