Subject: [PATCH 4/6] mm/vmalloc: make set_area_direct_map HUGE_VMAP friendly
Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2026 13:59:27 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260816-execmem-set-vm-perms-v0-2-v1-4-90944a3ad43f@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260816-execmem-set-vm-perms-v0-2-v1-0-90944a3ad43f@kernel.org>

set_area_direct_map() always updates direct map alias permissions in
single page increments.

For HUGE_VMAP areas it's suboptimal. Not only the loop in
set_area_direct_map() needlessly has more iterations (e.g times 512 on
x86), but it also causes fragmentation of the direct map that could be
avoided for the HUGE_VMAP areas populated with large pages.

All pages in an area are always of the same order: either same-order
large pages when VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP is set and all huge pages were
successfully allocated, or order-0 page when VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP is
cleared or when huge pages allocation fails and fallback path is taken.

Instead of updating the direct map permissions for every order-0 page in
an area, use the area's page_order as the loop increment and update the
large pages in one call to set_direct_map_{invalid,default}_noflush().
