Adjust arc_p based on "bytes" in arc_shrink
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In an attempt to prevent arc_c from collapsing "too fast", the
arc_shrink() function was updated to take a "bytes" parameter by this
change:

    commit 302f753
    Author: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>

        Integrate ARC more tightly with Linux

Unfortunately, that change failed to make a similar change to the way
that arc_p was updated. So, there still exists the possibility for arc_p
to collapse to near 0 when the kernel start calling the arc's shrinkers.

This change attempts to fix this, by decrementing arc_p by the "bytes"
parameter in the same way that arc_c is updated.

In addition, a minimum value of arc_p is attempted to be maintained,
similar to the way a minimum arc_p value is maintained in arc_adapt().
