This isn't very efficient, and we even have specific code in io-wq to serialize buffered writes to the same inode to avoid further inefficiencies with thread offload. This is particularly sad since most buffered writes don't block, they simply copy data to a page and dirty it. With this pull request, we can handle buffered writes a lot more effiently. If balance_dirty_pages() needs to block, we back off on writes as indicated. This improves buffered write support by 2-3x. Jan Kara helped with the mm bits for this, and Stefan handled the fs/iomap/xfs/io_uring parts of it" * tag 'for-5.20/io_uring-buffered-writes-2022-07-29' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: mm: honor FGP_NOWAIT for page cache page allocation xfs: Add async buffered write support xfs: Specify lockmode when calling xfs_ilock_for_iomap() io_uring: Add tracepoint for short writes io_uring: fix issue with io_write() not always undoing sb_start_write() io_uring: Add support for async buffered writes fs: Add async write file modification handling. fs: Split off inode_needs_update_time and __file_update_time fs: add __remove_file_privs() with flags parameter fs: add a FMODE_BUF_WASYNC flags for f_mode iomap: Return -EAGAIN from iomap_write_iter() iomap: Add async buffered write support iomap: Add flags parameter to iomap_page_create() mm: Add balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags() function mm: Move updates of dirty_exceeded into one place mm: Move starting of background writeback into the main balancing loop |

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 Restructured Text 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.
