Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] mm/vmalloc.c: Rewrite struct vmap_area to reduce its size
Objective
---------
The current implementation of struct vmap_area wasted space. At the
determined stage, not all members of the structure will be used.
For this problem, this commit places multiple structural members that
are not being used at the same time into a union to reduce the size
of the structure.
And local test results show that this commit will not hurt performance.
After applying this commit, sizeof(struct vmap_area) has been reduced
from 11 words to 8 words.
Description
-----------
Members of struct vmap_area are not being used at the same time.
For example,
(1)members @flags, @purge_list, and @vm are unused when vmap area is
in the *FREE* tree;
(2)members @subtree_max_size and @purge_list are unused when vmap area is
in the *BUSY* tree and not in the purge list;
(3)members @subtree_max_size and @vm are unused when vmap area is
in the *BUSY* tree and in the purge list.
Since members @subtree_max_size, @purge_list and @vm are not used
at the same time, so they can be placed in a union to reduce the
size of struct vmap_area.
Besides, since PAGE_ALIGNED(va->va_start) is always true, then @flags and
@va_start can be placed in a union, and @flags use bits below PAGE_SHIFT.
After that, the value of @va_start can be corrected by masking @flags.

Result analysis
---------------
Because the test results vary within a range, we can conclude that this
commit does not cause a significant impact on performance.
