    bcache: writeback rate shouldn't artifically clamp · e41166c5
    Michael Lyle authored
    The previous code artificially limited writeback rate to 1000000
    blocks/second (NSEC_PER_MSEC), which is a rate that can be met on fast
    hardware.  The rate limiting code works fine (though with decreased
    precision) up to 3 orders of magnitude faster, so use NSEC_PER_SEC.
    
    Additionally, ensure that uint32_t is used as a type for rate throughout
    the rate management so that type checking/clamp_t can work properly.
    
    bch_next_delay should be rewritten for increased precision and better
    handling of high rates and long sleep periods, but this is adequate for
    now.
