raid5: only wakeup necessary threads
If there are not enough stripes to handle, we'd better not always queue all available work_structs. If one worker can only handle small or even none stripes, it will impact request merge and create lock contention. With this patch, the number of work_struct running will depend on pending stripes number. Note: some statistics info used in the patch are accessed without locking protection. This should doesn't matter, we just try best to avoid queue unnecessary work_struct. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fusionio.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
