Subject: mm/vmalloc.c: change purge_ndoes as local static variable
Date: Sat, 19 Apr 2025 06:36:49 +0800

Patch series "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements", v2.

These changes were made from code inspection in mm/vmalloc.c.


This patch (of 5):

Static variable 'purge_ndoes' is defined in global scope, while it's only
used in function __purge_vmap_area_lazy().  It mainly serves to avoid
memory allocation repeatedly, especially when NR_CPUS is big.

While a local static variable can also satisfy the demand, and can improve
code readibility.  Hence move its definition into
__purge_vmap_area_lazy().
