+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] block: loop: convert to per-device workqueue
+
+Documentation/workqueue.txt:
+ If there is dependency among multiple work items used
+ during memory reclaim, they should be queued to separate
+ wq each with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM.
+
+Loop devices can be stacked, so we have to convert to per-device
+workqueue. One example is Fedora live CD.

+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] block: loop: avoiding too many pending per work I/O
+
+If there are too many pending per work I/O, too many
+high priority work thread can be generated so that
+system performance can be effected.
+
+This patch limits the max_active parameter of workqueue as 16.
+
+This patch fixes Fedora 22 live booting performance
+regression when it is booted from squashfs over dm
+based on loop, and looks the following reasons are
+related with the problem:
+
+- not like other filesyststems(such as ext4), squashfs
+is a bit special, and I observed that increasing I/O jobs
+to access file in squashfs only improve I/O performance a
+little, but it can make big difference for ext4
+
+- nested loop: both squashfs.img and ext3fs.img are mounted
+as loop block, and ext3fs.img is inside the squashfs
+
+- during booting, lots of tasks may run concurrently
+
