From: Patrick Farrell <pfarrell@whamcloud.com>

If a page is already dirty in the page cache, we can write
to it without a full i/o.  This improves performance for
writes of < 1 page dramatically.

Append writes are a bit tricky, requiring us to take the
range lock (which we can normally avoid), but they are
still much faster than the normal i/o path.

Performance numbers with dd, on a VM with an older Xeon.

All numbers in MiB/s.

+ * Similar trick to ll_do_fast_read, this improves write speed for tiny writes.
+ * If a page is already in the page cache and dirty (and some other things -
+ * See ll_tiny_write_begin for the instantiation of these rules), then we can
+ * write to it without doing a full I/O, because Lustre already knows about it
+ * and will write it out.  This saves a lot of processing time.
+ *
+ * All writes here are within one page, so exclusion is handled by the page
+ * lock on the vm page.  Exception is appending, which requires locking the
+ * full file to handle size issues.  We do not do tiny writes for writes which
+ * touch multiple pages because it's very unlikely multiple sequential pages
+ * are already dirty.
+ *
