Align the chunks that reads and writes are carried out in to the page cache rather than the user buffers. This will be more efficient in general, especially for allocating writes. Optimizing the case that the user buffer is gfs2 backed isn't very useful; we only need to make sure we won't deadlock. Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com>
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 Restructured Text 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.
