Subject: mm/vmalloc: simplify vmap batching helper and limit scan by PFN alignment
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 16:58:41 +0800
Pass the current page pointer directly to the batching helper, and limit
the contiguous scan by PFN alignment before checking for a batch size.
This keeps the helper interface simpler and avoids scanning more pages
than can actually be mapped together.
