Multiple jobs may hurt performance in case of sequential IOs on HDD backend. Also the 1st version of the loop dio patch uses normal wq, I remembered that random IOperformance isn't improved much, meantime sequential IO perf drops with normal wq, whentesting SSD backend. So I took kthread worker. Thanks, Ming Lei
