Have separate linked lists for bounded and unbounded workers. This way, io_acct_activate_free_worker() sees only workers relevant to it and doesn't need to skip irrelevant ones. This speeds up the linked list traversal (under acct->lock). The `io_wq.lock` field is moved to `io_wq_acct.workers_lock`. It did not actually protect "access to elements below", that is, not all of them; it only protected access to the worker lists. By having two locks instead of one, contention on this lock is reduced.

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 reStructuredText 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.
