Subject: mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: use bulk allocator in alloc_vmemmap_page_list()
Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2023 18:35:08 +0800
It is needed 4095 pages(1G) or 7 pages(2M) to be allocated once in
alloc_vmemmap_page_list(), so let's add a bulk allocator interface
alloc_pages_bulk_list_node() and switch alloc_vmemmap_page_list() to use
it to accelerate page allocation.
Simple test on arm64's qemu with 1G Hugetlb, 870,842ns vs 3,845,252ns,
even if there is a certain fluctuation, it is still a nice improvement.
