No. We can't make this kind of change to the way the vmalloc region works on some architectures only. It has to remain uniform. Either it's worth doing for all, or it's not. It's a fairly trivial change in the slow path, after all. I suspect it's worth it -- I'll ask the same question again with a patch attached as soon as I get time, in order to elicit more responses. -- dwmw2 -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
