Lets first get the work_list out of the wqe-lock mess by introduce a specific lock for work list. This is the first step to solve the huge contension between work insertion and work consumption. good thing: - split locking for bound and unbound work list - reduce contension between work_list visit and (worker's)free_list. For the hash stuff, since there won't be a work with same file in both bound and unbound work list, thus they won't visit same hash entry. it works well to use the new lock to protect hash stuff.

I didnt spot anything immediately wrong with the series, my only worker was worker->flags protection, but I _think_ that looks OK to in terms of the worker itself doing the manipulations.
Yes, I went over the code to make sure worker->flags is manipulated by the worker
itself when doing coding. Regards, Hao
Let's queue this up for 5.18 testing, thanks!
