Testing has shown that tq->tq_lock can be highly contended when a large number of small work items are dispatched. The lock hold time is reduced by the following changes: 1) Use exclusive threads in the work_waitq When a single work item is dispatched we only need to wake a single thread to service it. The current implementation uses non-exclusive threads so all threads are woken when the dispatcher calls wake_up(). If a large number of threads are in the queue this overhead can become non-negligible. 2) Conditionally add/remove threads from work waitq Taskq threads need only add themselves to the work wait queue if there are no pending work items.
