[RFC 8/8] shmem: add support to customize block size on multiple PAGE_SIZE

From: Luis Chamberlain
Date: Fri Apr 21 2023 - 17:44:49 EST


This allows tmpfs mounts to use a custom block size. We only allow
block sizes greater than PAGE_SIZE, and these must also be a multiple
of the PAGE_SIZE too.

Only simple tests have been run so far:

time for i in $(seq 1 1000000); do echo $i >> /root/ordered.txt; done

real 0m21.392s
user 0m8.077s
sys 0m13.098s

du -h /root/ordered.txt
6.6M /root/ordered.txt

sha1sum /root/ordered.txt
