tmpfs already supports PMD-sized large folios, but the tmpfs read operation still performs copying at PAGE_SIZE granularity, which is unreasonable. This patch changes tmpfs to copy data at folio granularity, which can improve the read performance, as well as changing to use folio related functions. Moreover, if a large folio has a subpage that is hwpoisoned, it will still fall back to page granularity copying. Use 'fio bs=64k' to read a 1G tmpfs file populated with 2M THPs, and I can see about 20% performance improvement, and no regression with bs=4k.

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 reStructuredText 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.
