Apologizes for the confusions the original format led to and thanks so much for your guidance which will surely enhance the efficiency when communicating with the kernel community. We've submitted the v6 of the patch, which more rigorously checks va_flag with BUG_ON, and at the same time ensures the additional performance overhead is subtle. In this modification we also moved the position of the macros because the definition of VMAP_RAM should be placed before alloc_vmap_area(). Much appreciation from you and Uladzislau on the code refinement. And at the same time, we'd also respect the internal review comments and suggestions from Tim and Colin, without which this patch cannot be qualified to be sent out for your review. Although the current implementation has been much different from its first version, I'd still recommend properly recognizing their contributions with the "review-by" tag. Does it make sense? Could you kindly help us review this version and share with us your further comments? Thanks again for your continuous help!
