When ioremap a 67112960 bytes vm_area with the vmallocinfo: [..] 0xec79b000-0xec7fa000 389120 ftl_add_mtd+0x4d0/0x754 pages=94 vmalloc 0xec800000-0xecbe1000 4067328 kbox_proc_mem_write+0x104/0x1c4 phys=8b520000 ioremap we get the result: 0xf1000000-0xf5001000 67112960 devm_ioremap+0x38/0x7c phys=40000000 ioremap For the align for ioremap must be less than '1 << IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER': if (flags & VM_IOREMAP) align = 1ul << clamp_t(int, get_count_order_long(size), PAGE_SHIFT, IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER); So it makes idiot like me a litter puzzle why jump the vm_area from 0xec800000-0xecbe1000 to 0xf1000000-0xf5001000, and leave 0xed000000-0xf1000000 as a big hole. This is to show all of vm_area, including which is freeing but still in vmap_area_list, to make it more clear about why we will get 0xf1000000-0xf5001000 int the above case. And we will get the vmallocinfo like: [..] 0xec79b000-0xec7fa000 389120 ftl_add_mtd+0x4d0/0x754 pages=94 vmalloc 0xec800000-0xecbe1000 4067328 kbox_proc_mem_write+0x104/0x1c4 phys=8b520000 ioremap [..] 0xece7c000-0xece7e000 8192 unpurged vm_area 0xece7e000-0xece83000 20480 vm_map_ram 0xf0099000-0xf00aa000 69632 vm_map_ram after apply this patch.
