    Btrfs: Fix streaming read performance with checksumming on · 61b49440
    Chris Mason authored
    Large streaming reads make for large bios, which means each entry on the
    list async work queues represents a large amount of data.  IO
    congestion throttling on the device was kicking in before the async
    worker threads decided a single thread was busy and needed some help.
    
    The end result was that a streaming read would result in a single CPU
    running at 100% instead of balancing the work off to other CPUs.
    
    This patch also changes the pre-IO checksum lookup done by reads to
    work on a per-bio basis instead of a per-page.  This results in many
    extra btree lookups on large streaming reads.  Doing the checksum lookup
    right before bio submit allows us to reuse searches while processing
    adjacent offsets.
