[PATCH 0/5] mm/vmalloc.c: improve readability and rewrite vmap_area

[Pengfei Li <lpf.vector@gmail.com>]

Hi,

This series of patches is to reduce the size of struct vmap_area.

Since the members of struct vmap_area are not being used at the same time,
it is possible to reduce its size by placing several members that are not
used at the same time in a union.

The first 4 patches did some preparatory work for this and improved
readability.

The fifth patch is the main patch, it did the work of rewriting vmap_area.

More details can be obtained from the commit message.

Thanks,

Pengfei
