[PATCH 2/2] xen/blkback: turn the cache purge percent into a parameter
From: Roger Pau Monne
Date: Thu Oct 15 2020 - 10:25:45 EST
Assume that reads and writes to the variable will be atomic. The worse
that could happen is that one of the purges removes a partially
written percentage of grants, but the cache itself will recover.
