[V2] android: binder: use VM_ALLOC to get vm area

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



VM_IOREMAP is used to access hardware through a mechanism called
I/O mapped memory. Android binder is a IPC machanism which will
not access I/O memory.

Also VM_IOREMAP has alignment requiement which may not needed in
binder.
    __get_vm_area_node()
    {
    ...
        if (flags & VM_IOREMAP)
            align = 1ul << clamp_t(int, fls_long(size),
               PAGE_SHIFT, IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER);
    ...
    }

This patch use VM_ALLOC to get vm area.

Below is the throughput test result:

  # ./binderThroughputTest -w 100
  I run this command 10 times:
                               before    after
  average iterations per sec:  11199.9   11886.9

No performance regression found throgh binder test.
