Subject: mm: vmalloc: remove a global vmap_blocks xarray
Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2023 20:21:11 +0100

The global vmap_blocks-xarray array can be contented under heavy usage of
the vm_map_ram()/vm_unmap_ram() APIs.  The lock_stat shows that a
"vmap_blocks.xa_lock" lock is a second in a top-list when it comes to
contentions:

that is a result of running vm_map_ram()/vm_unmap_ram() in
a loop. The test creates 64(on 64 CPUs system) threads and
each one maps/unmaps 1 page.

After this change the "xa_lock" can be considered as a noise
in the same test condition:

<snip>
...
&xa->xa_lock#1:         10333 10394 ...
  --------------
  &xa->xa_lock#1        5349      [<00000000bbbc9751>] xa_erase+0xe/0x30
  &xa->xa_lock#1        5045      [<0000000018def45d>] vm_map_ram+0x3a4/0x4f0
  --------------
  &xa->xa_lock#1        7326      [<0000000018def45d>] vm_map_ram+0x3a4/0x4f0
  &xa->xa_lock#1        3068      [<00000000bbbc9751>] xa_erase+0xe/0x30
...
<snip>

This patch does not fix vmap_area_lock/free_vmap_area_lock and
purge_vmap_area_lock bottle-necks, it is rather a separate rework.
