Add a new btrfs_workqueue_struct which use kernel workqueue to implement
most of the original btrfs_workers, to replace btrfs_workers.
With this patchset, redundant workqueue codes are replaced with kernel
workqueue infrastructure, which not only reduces the code size but also the
effort to maintain it.
More performace tests are ongoing, the result from sysbench shows minor
improvement on the following server:
CPU: two-way Xeon X5660
RAM: 4G
HDD: SAS HDD, 150G total, 40G partition for btrfs test
Test result:
Mode|Num_threads|block size|extra flags|performance change vs 3.11 kernel
rndrd 1 4K none +1.22%
rndrd 1 32K none +1.00%
rndrd 8 32K sync +1.35%
seqrd 8 4K direct +5.56%
seqwr 8 4K none -1.26%
seqwr 8 32K sync +1.20%
Changes below 1% are not mentioned.
Overall the patchset doesn't change the performance on HDD.
Since more tests are needed, more test result are welcomed.
