6.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Xu Yang <xu.yang_2@xxxxxxx>
commit 4e527d5841e24623181edc7fd6f6598ffa810e10 upstream.
Since commit (5d8edfb900d5 "iomap: Copy larger chunks from userspace"),
iomap will try to copy in larger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. However, if the
mapping doesn't support large folio, only one page of maximum 4KB will
be created and 4KB data will be writen to pagecache each time. Then,
next 4KB will be handled in next iteration. This will cause potential
write performance problem.
If chunk is 2MB, total 512 pages need to be handled finally. During this
period, fault_in_iov_iter_readable() is called to check iov_iter readable
validity. Since only 4KB will be handled each time, below address space
will be checked over and over again:
start end
-
buf, buf+2MB
buf+4KB, buf+2MB
buf+8KB, buf+2MB
...
buf+2044KB buf+2MB
Obviously the checking size is wrong since only 4KB will be handled each
time. So this will get a correct chunk to let iomap work well in non-large
folio case.
With this change, the write speed will be stable. Tested on ARM64 device.
