We disable offloading checksum to workqueues and do it synchronously when the checksum algorithm is fast. However, as reported in the link below, RAID0 with multiple devices may suffer from the sync checksum, because "fast checksum" is still not fast enough to catch up with RAID0 writing. We don't have an effective way to determine whether to offload or not, for now add a sysfs knob so this can be debugged. This is intentionally under CONFIG_BTRFS_DEBUG so ti's not exposed to users as it may be removed in the future agin. Introduce fs_devices->offload_csum_mode, so that a btrfs developer can change the behavior by writing to /sys/fs/btrfs/<uuid>/offload_csum. The default is "auto" which is the same as the previous behavior. Or, you can set "on" or "off" (or "y" or "n" whatever kstrtobool() accepts) to always/never offload checksum. More benchmark need to be collected with this knob to implement a proper criteria to enable/disable checksum offloading.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
