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 unreasonable. This patch changes to copy data at the folio granularity,
which can improve the read performance, as well as changing to use folio
related functions.
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.
Before the patch:
READ: bw=10.0GiB/s
After the patch:
READ: bw=12.0GiB/s
