Subject: [PATCH 2/3] mm/vmalloc: extract vmap_insert_free_area helper
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 11:34:01 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914-vmalloc_study-v1-2-526f68559706@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260914-vmalloc_study-v1-0-526f68559706@linux.dev>
From: Ye Liu <liuye@kylinos.cn>
The allocation and insertion of a free vmap_area is duplicated
between the loop body and the tail of vmap_init_free_space. Factor
it into a small helper so the main function only deals with computing
the free gaps between busy regions.
