The quilt patch titled Subject: mm: shmem: improve the tmpfs large folio read performance has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-shmem-improve-the-tmpfs-large-folio-read-performance.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: shmem: improve the tmpfs large folio read performance Date: Fri, 18 Oct 2024 11:00:28 +0800 tmpfs already supports PMD-sized large folios, but the tmpfs read operation still performs copying at PAGE_SIZE granularity, which is unreasonable. This patch changes tmpfs to copy data at folio granularity, which can improve the read performance, as well as changing to use folio related functions. Moreover, if a large folio has a subpage that is hwpoisoned, it will still fall back to page granularity copying. 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.
