Linux kernel stable tree

For many use cases (e.g. container images are just fetched from remote),
performance will be impacted if underlay page cache is up-to-date but
direct i/o flushes dirty pages first.
Instead, let's use buffered I/O by default to keep in sync with loop
devices and add a (re)mount option to explicitly give a try to use
direct I/O if supported by the underlying files.
The container startup time is improved as below:
[workload] docker.io/library/workpress:latest
unpack 1st run non-1st runs
EROFS snapshotter buffered I/O file 4.586404265s 0.308s 0.198s
EROFS snapshotter direct I/O file 4.581742849s 2.238s 0.222s
EROFS snapshotter loop 4.596023152s 0.346s 0.201s
Overlayfs snapshotter 5.382851037s 0.206s 0.214s

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
