Subject: mm: vmalloc: actually use the in-place vrealloc region
Date: Thu, 15 May 2025 14:42:15 -0700

Patch series "mm: vmalloc: Actually use the in-place vrealloc region".

This fixes a performance regression[1] with vrealloc()[1].


The refactoring to not build a new vmalloc region only actually worked
when shrinking.  Actually return the resized area when it grows.  Ugh.
