These patches are carefully plucked from the THP series. I would like them to hit 5.10 to make the THP patchset merge easier. Some of these are just generic improvements that make sense on their own terms, but the overall intent is to support THPs in iomap. I'll send another patch series later today which are the changes to iomap which don't pay their own way until we actually have THPs in the page cache. I would like those to be reviewed with an eye to merging them into 5.11.
