In the write path, after the write to the block device(s) complete we have to punt to process context to do the btree update. Instead of using the work item embedded in op->cl, this patch switches to a per write-point work item. This helps with two different issues: - lock contention: btree updates to the same writepoint will (usually) be updating the same alloc keys - context switch overhead: when we're bottlenecked on btree updates, having a thread (running out of a work item) checking the write point for completed ops is cheaper than queueing up a new work item and waking up a kworker. In an arbitrary benchmark, 4k random writes with fio running inside a VM, this patch resulted in a 10% improvement in total iops. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@linux.dev>
