Subject: [PATCH v2] mm: vmalloc: Clean up vunmap to avoid pgtable ops twice
Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2018 16:29:02 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1523876342-10545-1-git-send-email-cpandya@codeaurora.org> (raw)

vunmap does page table clear operations twice in the
case when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC_ENABLE_DEFAULT is enabled.

So, clean up the code as that is unintended.

As a perf gain, we save few us. Below ftrace data was
obtained while doing 1 MB of vmalloc/vfree on ARM64
based SoC *without* this patch applied. After this
patch, we can save ~3 us (on 1 extra vunmap_page_range).

  CPU  DURATION                  FUNCTION CALLS
  |     |   |                     |   |   |   |
 6)               |  __vunmap() {
 6)               |    vmap_debug_free_range() {
 6)   3.281 us    |      vunmap_page_range();
 6) + 45.468 us   |    }
 6)   2.760 us    |    vunmap_page_range();
 6) ! 505.105 us  |  }
