Subject: [PATCH 1/2] vmalloc: Free pages as a batch
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2020 23:46:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200921224628.20704-1-willy@infradead.org> (raw)
Use release_pages() to free the pages allocated by vmalloc(). This is
slightly more efficient in terms of disabling and enabling IRQs once
per batch instead of once per page.
