NeilBrown 0588b8a034 NFS: switch nfsiod to be an UNBOUND workqueue. 
[ Upstream commit bf701b765e ]

nfsiod is currently a concurrency-managed workqueue (CMWQ).
This means that workitems scheduled to nfsiod on a given CPU are queued
behind all other work items queued on any CMWQ on the same CPU.  This
can introduce unexpected latency.

Occaionally nfsiod can even cause excessive latency.  If the work item
to complete a CLOSE request calls the final iput() on an inode, the
address_space of that inode will be dismantled.  This takes time
proportional to the number of in-memory pages, which on a large host
working on large files (e.g..  5TB), can be a large number of pages
resulting in a noticable number of seconds.

We can avoid these latency problems by switching nfsiod to WQ_UNBOUND.
This causes each concurrent work item to gets a dedicated thread which
can be scheduled to an idle CPU.

There is precedent for this as several other filesystems use WQ_UNBOUND
workqueue for handling various async events.

README 

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.
