[Devel] [PATCH 0/7] drivers/md/dm-qcow2: per-qio fast path

dm-qcow2 processes every request consequentially in a single kwork.
Unfortunately this introduces latency and cpu-bound limits. This
patchset addresses the problem by laying per-qio tasks foundation:
qios can be executed in parallel on the same workqueue. For now cover
only requests with metadata fully allocated.
