These gather up IOs when the checksumming or compression threads are done with the CPU intensive work. Since the submission threads go one device at a time, they want to unplug after finishing off all the bios for one device. Jens ripped this code out when he did the plugging work, I had promised to redo it in the new framework. Instead of the normal shortlog: commit 211588ad1902df57beeeadc9b44546540fa4bd81 Author: Chris Mason Date: Tue Apr 19 20:12:40 2011 -0400 Btrfs: do some plugging in the submit_bio threads The Btrfs submit bio threads have a small number of threads responsible for pushing down bios we've collected for a large number of devices. Since we do all the bios for a single device at once, we want to make sure we unplug and send down the bios for each device as we're done processing them. The new plugging API removed the btrfs code to unplug while processing bios, this adds it back with the new API.
