In gfs2_file_buffered_write, to increase the likelihood that all the user memory we're trying to write will be resident in memory, carry out the write in chunks and fault in each chunk of user memory before trying to write it. Otherwise, some workloads will trigger frequent short "internal" writes, causing filesystem blocks to be allocated and then partially deallocated again when writing into holes, which is wasteful and breaks reservations. Neither the chunked writes nor any of the short "internal" writes are user visible. Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com>
