26 * across all available cpus instead of just the CPU that was used to
27 * queue the work. There is also some batching introduced to try and
28 * cut down on context switches.
30 * By default threads are added on demand up to 2 * the number of cpus.
31 * Changing struct btrfs_workers->max_workers is one way to prevent
32 * demand creation of kthreads.
34 * the basic model of these worker threads is to embed a btrfs_work
35 * structure in your own data struct, and use container_of in a
36 * work function to get back to your data struct.
