Yin Fengwei 617c28ecab filemap: batch PTE mappings
Call set_pte_range() once per contiguous range of the folio instead of
once per page.  This batches the updates to mm counters and the rmap.

With a will-it-scale.page_fault3 like app (change file write fault testing
to read fault testing.  Trying to upstream it to will-it-scale at [1]) got
15% performance gain on a 48C/96T Cascade Lake test box with 96 processes
running against xfs.

Perf data collected before/after the change:

                                --0.54%--__mod_node_page_state

The running time of __mode_lruvec_page_state() is reduced about 9%.

README

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.
