Furthermore, the reduced allocations seem to produce good effects for
other cases too. Actually, I observed that the time for the ioctl was
more stable than the original one and the average time for dirty slots
was also reduced by some extent.

Can you explain why the dirty slots were improved?

I cannot do exactly, but vmalloc() might affect the following allocations?



Oh, this might be the effect of tlb flush or something?
- I'm not so confident about mm, but vmalloc(),vfree() does this kind of thing?

Yes, vmalloc() does tlb flushes, perhaps that's the cause.
