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.
