fde4c4c3eciomap zero range flushes pagecache in certain situations to determine which parts of the range might require zeroing if dirty data is present in pagecache. The kernel robot recently reported a regression associated with this flushing in the following stress-ng workload on XFS: stress-ng --timeout 60 --times --verify --metrics --no-rand-seed --metamix 64 This workload involves repeated small, strided, extending writes. On XFS, this produces a pattern of post-eof speculative preallocation, conversion of preallocation from delalloc to unwritten, dirtying pagecache over newly unwritten blocks, and then rinse and repeat from the new EOF. This leads to repetitive flushing of the EOF folio via the zero range call XFS uses for writes that start beyond current EOF. To mitigate this problem, special case EOF block zeroing to prefer zeroing the folio over a flush when the EOF folio is already dirty. To do this, split out and open code handling of an unaligned start offset. This brings most of the performance back by avoiding flushes on zero range calls via write and truncate extension operations. The flush doesn't occur in these situations because the entire range is post-eof and therefore the folio that overlaps EOF is the only one in the range.

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.
