filemap_map_folio_range() maps partial/full folio. Comparing to original filemap_map_pages(), it updates refcount once per folio instead of per page and gets minor performance improvement for large folio. 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 2% performance gain on a 48C/96T Cascade Lake test box with 96 processes running against xfs.

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.
