[PATCH v2] btrfs: simplify async csum synchronization

From: Daniel Vacek

Date: Thu Nov 13 2025 - 05:17:38 EST


We don't need the redundant completion csum_done which marks the
csum work has been executed. We can simply flush_work() instead.

This way we can slim down the btrfs_bio structure by 32 bytes matching
it's size to what it used to be before introducing the async csums.
Hence not making any change with respect to the structure size.

This is a simple fixup for "btrfs: introduce btrfs_bio::async_csum" in
for-next and can be squashed into it.

v2: metadata is not checksummed here so use the endio_workers workqueue
unconditionally. Thanks to Qu Wenruo.
