From: Hisashi Hifumi <hifumi.hisa...@oss.ntt.co.jp> A page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not uptodate, some buffers can be uptodate on pagesize != blocksize environment. This aops checks that all buffers which correspond to a part of a file that we want to read are uptodate. If so, we do not have to issue actual read IO to HDD even if a page is not uptodate because the portion we want to read are uptodate. "block_is_partially_uptodate" function is already used by ext2/3/4. With the following patch random read/write mixed workloads or random read after random write workloads can be optimized and we can get performance improvement.
