Subject: NFS: Optimise append writes with holes
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=efc91ed0191e3fc62bb1c556ac93fc4e661214d2;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

NFS: Optimise append writes with holes

If a file is being extended, and we're creating a hole, we might as well
declare the entire page to be up to date.

This patch significantly improves the write performance for sparse files
in the case where lseek(SEEK_END) is used to append several non-contiguous
writes at intervals of < PAGE_SIZE.
