    io-wq: fork worker threads from original task · 3bfe6106
    Jens Axboe authored
    Instead of using regular kthread kernel threads, create kernel threads
    that are like a real thread that the task would create. This ensures that
    we get all the context that we need, without having to carry that state
    around. This greatly reduces the code complexity, and the risk of missing
    state for a given request type.
    
    With the move away from kthread, we can also dump everything related to
    assigned state to the new threads.
