[patch 2/6] mm/vmalloc: Avoid iterating over per CPU vmap blocks twice

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

 



_vunmap_aliases() walks the per CPU xarrays to find partially unmapped
blocks and then walks the per cpu free lists to purge fragmented blocks.

Arguably that's waste of CPU cycles and cache lines as the full xarray walk
already touches every block.

Avoid this double iteration:

  - Split out the code to purge one block and the code to free the local
    purge list into helper functions.

  - Try to purge the fragmented blocks in the xarray walk before looking at
    their dirty space.
