mm,tmpfs: consider end of file write in shmem_is_huge
Take the end of a file write into consideration when deciding whether or not to use huge pages for tmpfs files when the tmpfs filesystem is mounted with huge=within_size This allows large writes that append to the end of a file to automatically use large pages. Doing 4MB sequential writes without fallocate to a 16GB tmpfs file with fio. The numbers without THP or with huge=always stay the same, but the performance with huge=within_size now matches that of huge=always. huge before after 4kB pages 1560 MB/s 1560 MB/s within_size 1560 MB/s 4720 MB/s always: 4720 MB/s 4720 MB/s [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style cleanups] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240903111928.7171e60c@imladris.surriel.comSigned-off-by: Rik van Riel <riel@surriel.com> Reviewed-by: Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com> Tested-by: Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com> Cc: Darrick J.
