Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/vmalloc: Keep a separate lazy-free list
When mixing lots of vmallocs and set_memory_*() (which calls
vm_unmap_aliases()) I encountered situations where the performance
degraded severely due to the walking of the entire vmap_area list each
invocation. One simple improvement is to add the lazily freed vmap_area
to a separate lockless free list, such that we then avoid having to walk
the full list on each purge.
v2: Remove unused VM_LAZY_FREE and VM_LAZY_FREEING flags and reorder
access of vmap_area during addition to the lazy free list to avoid
use-after free (Roman).
