The tmpfs has already supported the PMD-sized large folios, but the tmpfs read operation still performs copying at the PAGE SIZE granularity, which is not perfect. This patch changes to copy data at the folio granularity, which can improve the read performance. Use 'fio bs=64k' to read a 1G tmpfs file populated with 2M THPs, and I can see about 20% performance improvement, and no regression with bs=4k. I also did some functional test with the xfstests suite, and I did not find any regressions with the following xfstests config.
