Patch series "Tiny optimization for large read operations".
This series contains two patches,
1. Skip calling is_partially_uptodate for entire folio to save time, I
have reviewed the mpage and iomap implementations and didn't spot any
issues, but this change likely needs more thorough review.
2. Skip calling filemap_uptodate if there are ready folios in the
batch, This might save a few milliseconds in practice, but I didn't
observe measurable improvements in my tests.
This patch (of 2):
When a folio is marked as non-uptodate, it means the folio contains some
non-uptodate data. Therefore, calling is_partially_uptodate() to recheck
the entire folio is redundant.
If all data in a folio is actually up-to-date but the folio lacks the
uptodate flag, it will still be treated as non-uptodate in many other
places. Thus, there should be no special case handling for filemap.
