io-wq relies on a manager thread to create/fork new workers, as needed. But there's really no strong need for it anymore. We have the following cases that fork a new worker: 1) Work queue. This is done from the task itself always, and it's trivial to create a worker off that path, if needed. 2) All workers have gone to sleep, and we have more work. This is called off the sched out path. For this case, use a task_work items to queue a fork-worker operation. 3) Hashed work completion. Don't think we need to do anything off this case. If need be, it could just use approach 2 as well. Part of this change is incrementing the running worker count before the fork, to avoid cases where we observe we need a worker and then queue creation of one. Then new work comes in, we fork a new one. That last queue operation should have waited for the previous worker to come up, it's quite possible we don't even need it. Hence move the worker running from before we fork it off to more efficiently handle that case. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
