[v2,12/23] xfs: introduce workqueue for post read IO work

Commit Message

Andrey Albershteyn April 4, 2023, 2:53 p.m. UTC

As noted by Dave there are two problems with using fs-verity's
workqueue in XFS:

1. High priority workqueues are used within XFS to ensure that data
   IO completion cannot stall processing of journal IO completions.
   Hence using a WQ_HIGHPRI workqueue directly in the user data IO
   path is a potential filesystem livelock/deadlock vector.

2. The fsverity workqueue is global - it creates a cross-filesystem
   contention point.

This patch adds per-filesystem, per-cpu workqueue for fsverity
work.
