All the popular filesystems need to grab the inode lock for buffered writes. With io_uring punting buffered writes to async context, we observe a lot of contention with all workers hamming this mutex. For buffered writes, we generally don't need a lot of parallelism on the submission side, as the flushing will take care of that for us. Hence we don't need a deep queue on the write side, as long as we can safely punt from the original submission context. Add a workqueue with a limit of 2 that we can use for buffered writes. This greatly improves the performance and efficiency of higher queue depth buffered async writes with io_uring.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
