Hello,

kernel test robot noticed a 13.1% improvement of fio.write_iops on:


commit: 14f9161e872072075284b8afa4c3f929e199a0f6 ("btrfs: don't force DIO writes to be serialized")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git master


testcase: fio-basic
config: x86_64-rhel-9.4
compiler: gcc-14
test machine: 64 threads 2 sockets Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6346 CPU @ 3.10GHz (Ice Lake) with 256G memory
parameters:

	runtime: 300s
	disk: 1HDD
	fs: btrfs
	nr_task: 1
	test_size: 128G
	rw: write
	bs: 4k
	ioengine: falloc
	cpufreq_governor: performance



Details are as below:
