Subject: [PATCH v2 5/7] mm/vmalloc: map contiguous pages in batches for vmap() if possible
Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 17:41:06 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260514094108.2016201-6-jiangwen6@xiaomi.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260514094108.2016201-1-jiangwen6@xiaomi.com>
From: "Barry Song (Xiaomi)" <baohua@kernel.org>
In many cases, the pages passed to vmap() may include high-order
pages. For example, the systemheap often allocates pages in descending
order: order 8, then 4, then 0. Currently, vmap() iterates over every
page individually—even pages inside a high-order block are handled
one by one.
This patch detects physically contiguous pages (regardless of whether
they are compound or non-compound) by scanning with
num_pages_contiguous(), and maps them as a single contiguous block
whenever possible. The first page's pfn must be aligned to the
mapping order for the batched mapping to be used.
Pages with the same page_shift are coalesced and mapped via
vmap_pages_range_noflush_walk() to avoid page table rewalk.
