Subject[PATCH v4 00/36] Large pages in the page cache
Date
From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@infradead.org>

This patch set does not pass xfstests. Test at your own risk. It is
based on the readahead rewrite which is in Andrew's tree. I've fixed a
lot of issues in the last two weeks, but generic/013 will still crash it.

The primary idea here is that a large part of the overhead in dealing
with individual pages is that there's just so darned many of them.
We would be better off dealing with fewer, larger pages, even if they
don't get to be the size necessary for the CPU to use a larger TLB entry.

v4:
- Fix thp_size typo
- Fix the iomap page_mkwrite() path to operate on the head page, even
though the vm_fault has a pointer to the tail page
- Fix iomap_finish_ioend() to use bio_for_each_thp_segment_all()
- Rework PageDoubleMap (see first two patches for details)
- Fix page_cache_delete() to handle shadow entries being stored to a THP
- Fix the assertion in pagecache_get_page() to handle tail pages
- Change PageReadahead from NO_COMPOUND to ONLY_HEAD
- Handle PageReadahead being set on head pages
- Handle total_mapcount correctly (Kirill)
- Pull the FS_LARGE_PAGES check out into mapping_large_pages()
- Fix page size assumption in truncate_cleanup_page()
- Avoid splitting large pages unnecessarily on truncate
- Disable the page cache truncation introduced as part of the read-only
THP patch set
- Call compound_head() in iomap buffered write paths -- we retrieve a
(potentially) tail page from the page cache and need to use that for
flush_dcache_page(), but we expect to operate on a head page in most
of the iomap code
