Subject: mm/vmalloc.c: allow vread() to read out vm_map_ram areas
Date: Mon, 6 Feb 2023 16:40:16 +0800
Currently, vread can read out vmalloc areas which is associated with a
vm_struct. While this doesn't work for areas created by vm_map_ram()
interface because it doesn't have an associated vm_struct. Then in
vread(), these areas are all skipped.
Here, add a new function vmap_ram_vread() to read out vm_map_ram areas.
The area created with vmap_ram_vread() interface directly can be handled
like the other normal vmap areas with aligned_vread(). While areas which
will be further subdivided and managed with vmap_block need carefully read
out page-aligned small regions and zero fill holes.
