Jens Axboe 895e2ca0f6 io-wq: support concurrent non-blocking work
io-wq assumes that work will complete fast (and not block), so it
doesn't create a new worker when work is enqueued, if we already have
at least one worker running. This is done on the assumption that if work
is running, then it will complete fast.

Add an option to force io-wq to fork a new worker for work queued. This
is signaled by setting IO_WQ_WORK_CONCURRENT on the work item. For that
case, io-wq will create a new worker, even though workers are already
running.

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.
