    Patchset description:
    ploop: optimistations and scalling
    
    Ploop processes requsts in a different threads in parallel
    where possible which results in significant improvement in
    performance and makes further optimistations possible.
    
    Known bugs:
      - delayed metadata writeback is not working and is missing error handling
         - patch to disable it until fixed
      - fast path is not working - causes rcu lockups - patch to disable it
    
    Further improvements:
      - optimize md pages lookups
    
    Alexander Atanasov (50):
      dm-ploop: md_pages map all pages at creation time
      dm-ploop: Use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE to access md page data
      dm-ploop: fsync after all pios are sent
      dm-ploop: move md status to use proper bitops
      dm-ploop: convert wait_list and wb_batch_llist to use lockless lists
      dm-ploop: convert enospc handling to use lockless lists
      dm-ploop: convert suspended_pios list to use lockless list
      dm-ploop: convert the rest of the lists to use llist variant
      dm-ploop: combine processing of pios thru prepare list and remove
        fsync worker
      dm-ploop: move from wq to kthread
      dm-ploop: move preparations of pios into the caller from worker
      dm-ploop: fast path execution for reads
      dm-ploop: do not use a wrapper for set_bit to make a page writeback
      dm-ploop: BAT use only one list for writeback
      dm-ploop: make md writeback timeout to be per page
      dm-ploop: add interface to disable bat writeback delay

        completion
      dm-ploop: make ploop_submit_metadata_writeback return number of
        requests sent
      dm-ploop: introduce pio runner threads
      dm-ploop: add pio list ids to be used when passing pios to runners
      dm-ploop: process pios via runners
      dm-ploop: disable metadata writeback delay
      dm-ploop: disable fast path
      dm-ploop: use lockless lists for chained cow updates list

      dm-ploop: give runner threads better name
      dm-ploop: resize operation - add holes bitmap locking
      dm-ploop: remove unnecessary operations
      dm-ploop: use filp per thread
      dm-ploop: catch if we try to advance pio past bio end
      dm-ploop: support REQ_FUA for data pios
      dm-ploop: proplerly access nr_bat_entries
      dm-ploop: fix locking and improve error handling when submitting pios
      dm-ploop: fix how ENOTBLK is handled
      dm-ploop: sync when suspended or stopping
      dm-ploop: rework bat completion logic
      dm-ploop: rework logic in pio processing
      dm-ploop: end fsync pios in parallel
      dm-ploop: make filespace preallocations async
      dm-ploop: resubmit enospc pios from dispatcher thread
      dm-ploop: dm-ploop: simplify discard completion
      dm-ploop: use GFP_ATOMIC instead of GFP_NOIO
      dm-ploop: fix locks used in mixed context
      dm-ploop: fix how current flags are managed inside threads
