Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2012 14:34:25 +0800 From: Hong zhi guo <honkiko@...il.com> To: linux-mm@...ck.org Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, akpm@...ux-foundation.org, zhiguo.hong@....com Subject: [PATCH] vmalloc: walk vmap_areas by sorted list instead of rb_next() There's a walk by repeating rb_next to find a suitable hole. Could be simply replaced by walk on the sorted vmap_area_list. More simpler and efficient. Mutation of the list and tree only happens in pair within __insert_vmap_area and __free_vmap_area, under protection of vmap_area_lock. The patch code is also under vmap_area_lock, so the list walk is safe, and consistent with the tree walk. Tested on SMP by repeating batch of vmalloc anf vfree for random sizes and rounds for hours.
