[PATCH v2 0/5] mm/shmem: optimize read with reduced xarray lookups and folio batching

[Chi Zhiling]

From: Chi Zhiling <chizhiling@xxxxxxxxxx>

This series improves shmem read performance by implementing folio
batching in the read path and reducing unnecessary xarray lookups.

Performance Results:

fio --ioengine=sync --rw=read --bs=$1 --size=1G --runtime=180 --time_based --group_reporting --name=seq_read_test --filename=testfile
