Pull bounce buffer dio for stable pages from Jens Axboe:
 "This adds support for bounce buffering of dio for stable pages. This
  was all done by Christoph. In his words:

  This series tries to address the problem that under I/O pages can be
  modified during direct I/O, even when the device or file system
  require stable pages during I/O to calculate checksums, parity or data
  operations. It does so by adding block layer helpers to bounce buffer
  an iov_iter into a bio, then wires that up in iomap and ultimately
  XFS.

  The reason that the file system even needs to know about it, is
  because reads need a user context to copy the data back, and the
  infrastructure to defer ioends to a workqueue currently sits in XFS.
  I'm going to look into moving that into ioend and enabling it for
  other file systems. Additionally btrfs already has it's own
  infrastructure for this, and actually an urgent need to bounce buffer,
  so this should be useful there and could be wire up easily. In fact
  the idea comes from patches by Qu that did this in btrfs.

  This patch fixes all but one xfstests failures on T10 PI capable
  devices (generic/095 seems to have issues with a mix of mmap and
  splice still, I'm looking into that separately), and make qemu VMs
  running Windows, or Linux with swap enabled fine on an XFS file on a
  device using PI.

  Performance numbers on my (not exactly state of the art) NVMe PI test
  setup:

      Sequential reads using io_uring, QD=16.
      Bandwidth and CPU usage (usr/sys):

      | size |        zero copy         |          bounce          |
      +------+--------------------------+--------------------------+
      |   4k | 1316MiB/s (12.65/55.40%) | 1081MiB/s (11.76/49.78%) |
      |  64K | 3370MiB/s ( 5.46/18.20%) | 3365MiB/s ( 4.47/15.68%) |
      |   1M | 3401MiB/s ( 0.76/23.05%) | 3400MiB/s ( 0.80/09.06%) |
      +------+--------------------------+--------------------------+

      Sequential writes using io_uring, QD=16.
      Bandwidth and CPU usage (usr/sys):

      | size |        zero copy         |          bounce          |
      +------+--------------------------+--------------------------+
      |   4k |  882MiB/s (11.83/33.88%) |  750MiB/s (10.53/34.08%) |
      |  64K | 2009MiB/s ( 7.33/15.80%) | 2007MiB/s ( 7.47/24.71%) |
      |   1M | 1992MiB/s ( 7.26/ 9.13%) | 1992MiB/s ( 9.21/19.11%) |
      +------+--------------------------+--------------------------+

  Note that the 64k read numbers look really odd to me for the baseline
  zero copy case, but are reproducible over many repeated runs.

  The bounce read numbers should further improve when moving the PI
  validation to the file system and removing the double context switch,
  which I have patches for that will sent out soon"
