Subject: [PATCH v8 10/10] mm/vmalloc: align vm_area so vmap() can batch mappings
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 13:29:33 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917052933.188679-11-jiangwenxiaomi@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260917052933.188679-1-jiangwenxiaomi@gmail.com>
From: "Barry Song (Xiaomi)" <baohua@kernel.org>
Try to align the vmap virtual address to PMD_SHIFT or a
larger PTE mapping size hinted by the architecture, so
contiguous pages can be batch-mapped when setting PMD or
PTE entries. We do not expect any significant overhead for
this.
Add __get_vm_area_node_aligned_caller() as a wrapper over
__get_vm_area_node() to simplify repeated calls with fixed
arguments.
