[PATCH 5.10 488/545] dm writecache: set a default MAX_WRITEBACK_JOBS

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit ca7dc242e358e46d963b32f9d9dd829785a9e957 ]

dm-writecache has the capability to limit the number of writeback jobs
in progress. However, this feature was off by default. As such there
were some out-of-memory crashes observed when lowering the low
watermark while the cache is full.

This commit enables writeback limit by default. It is set to 256MiB or
1/16 of total system memory, whichever is smaller.
