[PATCH 00/12] [LSF/MM/BPF RFC] shmem/tmpfs: add large folios support

From: Daniel Gomez
Date: Wed May 15 2024 - 02:06:53 EST


In preparation for the LSF/MM/BPF 2024 discussion [1], the patches below add
support for large folios in shmem for the write and fallocate paths.

test

This version includes per-block uptodate tracking required for lseek when
enabling support for large folios. Initially, this feature was introduced to
address lseek fstests (specifically generic/285 and generic/436) for huge pages.
However, it was suggested that, for THP, the test should be adapted to PAGE_SIZE
and PMD_SIZE. Nevertheless, with arbitrary folio orders we require the lowest
granularity possible. This topic will be part of the discussion in tomorrow's
session.

Fstests expunges results can be found in kdevops' tree:

Daniel Gomez (11):
shmem: add per-block uptodate tracking for large folios
shmem: move folio zero operation to write_begin()
shmem: exit shmem_get_folio_gfp() if block is uptodate
shmem: clear_highpage() if block is not uptodate
shmem: set folio uptodate when reclaim
shmem: check if a block is uptodate before splice into pipe
shmem: clear uptodate blocks after PUNCH_HOLE
shmem: enable per-block uptodate
shmem: add order arg to shmem_alloc_folio()
shmem: add file length arg in shmem_get_folio() path
shmem: add large folio support to the write and fallocate paths

Pankaj Raghav (1):
splice: don't check for uptodate if partially uptodate is impl
