The revision title mentions "AsyncParallelFor pass" but this isn't touching the pass itself right?

Change the comment.

Rebase. Note that this made some of the loop unrolling logic dynamic which seeped all the way into loop building.

Computing numUnrollableLoops as Value (compute function argument) + runtime scf.if in the loop nest prevents LLVM from loop unrolling and vectorization, and it leads to large regressions in: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/compiler/mlir/tfrt/benchmarks/compute_function_benchmark.cc

numUnrollableLoops should be known at compiled time, with dynamic minTaskSize the structure should look like this:

ParallelComputeFunction unrollableParallelComputeFunction =
        createParallelComputeFunction(op, staticBounds, numUnrollableLoops,
                                      rewriter);

ParallelComputeFunction defaultParallelComputeFunction =
        createParallelComputeFunction(op, staticBounds, numUnrollableLoops,
                                      rewriter);

b.create<scf::IfOp>(..) {
  dispatch unrollableParallelComputeFunction
} else {
  dispatch defaultParallelComputeFunction
}

There is no real need of benefit of computing numUnrollableLoop as Value, because unrolling/vectorization can only happen in trip counts (loop bounds) are know at compile time.

Address comments: lift the scf.if out of the loops.

Done, PTAL.

You're creating a value dynamicShouldUnroll here which isn't used in the else branch below, can you sink this in the then branch?

Elide dynamic check if possible.

nit: I'd move this lambda close to the dispatchNotUnrollable to reduce the nesting, and put similar things together, although it's used only inside one branch of the if. I think it's ok to put createParallelComputeFunction inside lamdba, so you don't create aligned compute function if you'll not need it.

Fix minor C++ compilation issue.

Same thing for another lambda.

Move minTaskSize definition earlier to avoid contaminating the analysis results with the partially executed rewrite logic.
