This was originally added in commit 8b110e393c ("Btrfs: implement
repair function when direct read fails") to avoid a deadlock. In that
commit, the direct I/O read endio executes on the endio_workers
workqueue, submits a repair bio, and waits for it to complete. The
repair bio endio must execute on a different workqueue, otherwise it
could block on the endio_workers workqueue becoming available, which
won't happen because the original endio is blocked on the repair bio.
As of the previous commit, the original endio doesn't wait for the
repair bio, so this separate workqueue is unnecessary.

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.
