Andreas Gruenbacher 324d116c5a gfs2: Align read and write chunks to the page cache
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.

README

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.
