Rik van Riel e1e4cfd01a mm,tmpfs: consider end of file write in shmem_is_huge
Take the end of a file write into consideration when deciding whether or
not to use huge pages for tmpfs files when the tmpfs filesystem is mounted
with huge=within_size

This allows large writes that append to the end of a file to automatically
use large pages.

Doing 4MB sequential writes without fallocate to a 16GB tmpfs file with
fio.  The numbers without THP or with huge=always stay the same, but the
performance with huge=within_size now matches that of huge=always.

huge		before		after
4kB pages	1560 MB/s	1560 MB/s
within_size	1560 MB/s	4720 MB/s
always:		4720 MB/s	4720 MB/s

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
