Performance oriented customized Linux kernel based on the mainline kernel.

In the delalloc append write scenario, if inode's i_size is extended due to buffer write, there are delalloc writes pending in the range up to i_size, and no need to touch i_disksize since writeback will push i_disksize up to i_size eventually. Offers significant performance improvement in high-frequency append write scenarios. I conducted tests in my 32-core environment by launching 32 concurrent threads to append write to the same file. Each write operation had a length of 1024 bytes and was repeated 100000 times. Without using this patch, the test was completed in 7705 ms. However, with this patch, the test was completed in 5066 ms, resulting in a performance improvement of 34%. Moreover, in test scenarios of Kafka version 2.6.2, using packet size of 2K, with this patch resulted in a 10% performance improvement.

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.
