Hey Linus,
/* Summary */
This contains a few updates for the iomap code:
* Restore read-write hints in struct bio through the bi_write_hint member for
the sake of UFS devices in mobile applications. This can result in up to 40%
lower write amplification in UFS devices. The patch series that builds on
this will be coming in via the SCSI maintainers. (Bart)
* Overhaul the iomap writeback code. Afterwards ->map_blocks() is able to map
multiple blocks at once as long as they're in the same folio. This
reduces CPU usage for buffered write workloads on e.g., xfs on systems
with lots of cores. (Christoph)
* Record processed bytes in iomap_iter() trace event. (Kassey)
* Extend iomap_writepage_map() trace event after Christoph's ->map_block()
changes to map mutliple blocks at once. (Zhang)
/* Testing */
clang: Debian clang version 16.0.6 (19)
gcc: (Debian 13.2.0-7) 13.2.0
All patches are based on v6.8-rc1 and have been sitting in linux-next.
No build failures or warnings were observed.
