This series adds fuse iomap support for buffered writes and dirty folio
writeback. This is needed so that granular uptodate and dirty tracking can
be used in fuse when large folios are enabled. This has two big advantages.
Now for writes, instead of the entire folio needing to be read into the page
cache, only the relevant portions need to be. Now for writeback, only the
dirty portions need to be written back instead of the entire folio.
This patchset does 3 things, in order of sequence:
a) Decouple iomap/buffered-io.c code from the CONFIG_BLOCK dependency, as some
environments that run fuse may not have CONFIG_BLOCK set
b) Add support to iomap buffered io for generic write and writeback that is
not dependent on bios
c) Add fuse integration with iomap
Patches 3 and 5 are obviated by the refactoring done later on in patches 10
and 11 but I left this patchset in this order in the hopes of making it
more logically easier to follow.
This series was run through fstests with large folios enabled and through
some quick sanity checks on passthrough_hp with a) writing 1 GB in 1 MB chunks
and then going back and dirtying a few bytes in each chunk and b) writing 50
MB in 1 MB chunks and going through dirtying the entire chunk for several runs.
a) showed about a 40% speedup increase with iomap support added and b) showed
roughly the same performance.
This patchset does not enable large folios yet. That will be sent out in a
separate future patchset.
This series is on top of commit 27605c8c0 ("Merge tag 'net-6.16-rc2'...") in
the linux tree.
Thanks,
Joanne
Changeset
