Linux kernel source tree
7d28631786
Patch series "remove ->rw_page". This series removes the ->rw_page block_device_operation, which is an old and clumsy attempt at a simple read/write fast path for the block layer. It isn't actually used by the fastest block layer operations that we support (polled I/O through io_uring), but only used by the mpage buffered I/O helpers which are some of the slowest I/O we have and do not make any difference there at all, and zram which is a block device abused to duplicate the zram functionality. Given that zram is heavily used we need to make sure there is a good replacement for synchronous I/O, so this series adds a new flag for drivers that complete I/O synchronously and uses that flag to use on-stack bios and synchronous submission for them in the swap code. This patch (of 7): These are micro-optimizations for synchronous I/O, which do not matter compared to all the other inefficiencies in the legacy buffer_head based mpage code.

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.
