What specific patch are you working on? Please, post it somewhere.

What happens if you use this trick ( https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/1/11/1612 )
- detect in the "read_iter" method that there is just one segment and 
treat it like a "read" method. I think that it should improve performance 
for your case.
