Before the io-wq thread change, we maintained a hash work map and lock per-node per-ring. That wasn't ideal, as we really wanted it to be per ring. But now that we have per-task workers, the hash map ends up being just per-task. That'll work just fine for the normal case of having one task use a ring, but if you share the ring between tasks, then it's considerably worse than it was before. Make the hash map per ctx instead, which provides full per-ctx buffered write serialization on hashed writes. 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.
