Thanks for working on this, it's really good to move toward a single set of workqueues in the kernel. Have you benchmarked with compression on? Especially on modern hardware, the crcs don't exercise the workqueues very much. -chris -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
