In raid5-cache writeback mode, we have two types of stripes to handle. - stripes which aren't cached yet - stripes which are cached and flushing out to raid disks Upperlayer is more sensistive to latency of the first type of stripes generally. But we only one handle list for all these stripes, where the two types of stripes are mixed together. When reclaim flushes a lot of stripes, the first type of stripes could be noticeably delayed. On the other hand, if the log space is tight, we'd like to handle the second type of stripes faster and free log space. This patch destinguishes the two types stripes. They are added into different handle list. When we try to get a stripe to handl, we prefer the first type of stripes unless log space is tight. This should have no impact for !writeback case.
