io-wq: fork worker threads from original task
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. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <[email protected]>
