First and foremost, here are the problems we have right now,

a) %thread_pool is configurable via mount option, however for those
   'workers' who really needs concurrency, there are at most
   "min(num_cpus+2, 8)" threads running to process works, and the
   value can't be tuned after mount because they're tagged with
   NO_THRESHOLD.

b) For THRESHOLD workers, btrfs is adjusting how concurrency will
   happen by starting with the minimum max_active and calling
   btrfs_workqueue_set_max() to grow it on demand, but it also has a
   upper limit, "min(num_cpus+2, 8)", which means at most we can have
   such many threads running at the same time.

In fact, kernel workqueue can be created on demand and destroyed once
no work needs to be processed.  The small max_active limitation (8)
from btrfs has prevented us from utilizing all available cpus, and
that is against why we choose workqueue.

What this patch does:

- resizing %thread_pool is totally removed as they are no long needed,
  while keeping its mount option for compatibility.

- The default "0" is passed when allocating workqueue, so the maximum
  number of running works is typically 256.  And all fields for
  limiting max_active are removed, including current_active,
  limit_active, thresh etc.

I was also wondering this when using kernel workqueue to replace btrfs
workqueue.
However at that time, oct-core CPU is even hard to find in servers.

Yep, I'm also wondering should we keep the old 8 threads up limits.
Especially nowadays oct-core CPU is getting cheaper and cheaper (thanks
AMD and its Ryzen).

Any benchmark will make this more persuasive.
Especially using low frequency but high thread count CPU.

The idea and the patch looks good to me.

Looking forward to some benchmark result.

Thanks,

OK, will work out some numbers, and I'm going to make these workqueues
global for all btrfs on one system, the reason is that all unbound
workqueues have already shared kthreads belonged to all available numa
nodes, so no need to do it per-fs.
