Subject: [PATCH v2 00/14] folio support for sync I/O in RAID

From: Li Nan <linan122@...wei.com>

This patchset adds folio support to sync operations in raid1/10.
Previously, we used 16 * 4K pages for 64K sync I/O. With this change,
we'll use a single 64K folio instead. Using folios reduces
resync/recovery time by 20% on HDD.

This is the first step towards full folio support in RAID. Going forward,
I will replace the remaining page-based usage with folio.

The patchset was tested with mdadm. Additional fault injection stress tests
were run under file systems.

v2:
 - Remove patch "md: use folio for bb_folio". It will be included in
   a later patch set
 - In patch 5:
    1) fix typo
    2) rewrite the logic of copying data in process_checks()
    3) rename resync_get_all_folio() to resync_get_folio()
    4) s/resync_pages *rps/resync_folio *rfs/g in
       raid1_alloc_init_r1buf() and raid10_alloc_init_r10buf()
 - Subsequent patches: Adapting conflicts caused by patch 5
