Hi, Trond.
I wrote "is_partially_uptodate" aops for nfs client named nfs_is_partially_uptodate().
This aops checks that nfs_page is attached to a page and read IO to a page is
within the range between wb_pgbase and wb_pgbase + wb_bytes of the nfs_page.
If this aops succeed, we do not have to issue actual read IO to NFS server
even if a page is not uptodate because the portion we want to read are uptodate.
So with this patch random read/write mixed workloads or random read after random write
workloads can be optimized and we can get performance improvement.
I did benchmark test using sysbench.
sysbench --num-threads=16 --max-requests=100000 --test=fileio --file-block-size=2K
--file-total-size=200M --file-test-mode=rndrw --file-fsync-freq=0
--file-rw-ratio=0.5 run
The result was:
-2.6.29-rc4

I/O performance was significantly improved by following patch.
Please merge my patch.
Thanks.
