[PATCH] knfsd: stop NFSD writes from being broken into lots of little writes to filesystem
When NFSD receives a write request, the data is typically in a number of 1448 byte segments and writev is used to collect them together. Unfortunately, generic_file_buffered_write passes these to the filesystem one at a time, so an e.g. 32K over-write becomes a series of partial-page writes to each page, causing the filesystem to have to pre-read those pages - wasted effort. generic_file_buffered_write handles one segment of the vector at a time as it has to pre-fault in each segment to avoid deadlocks. When writing from kernel-space (and nfsd does) this is not an issue, so generic_file_buffered_write does not need to break and iovec from nfsd into little pieces. This patch avoids the splitting when get_fs is KERNEL_DS as it is from NFSd.
