Pull io_uring buffered writes support from Jens Axboe:
"This contains support for buffered writes, specifically for XFS. btrfs
is in progress, will be coming in the next release.
io_uring does support buffered writes on any file type, but since the
buffered write path just always -EAGAIN (or -EOPNOTSUPP) any attempt
to do so if IOCB_NOWAIT is set, any buffered write will effectively be
handled by io-wq offload. 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"
