Subject[PATCH v2] mm/vmalloc: terminate searching since one node found
Message-ID<u48DD-1Za-3@gated-at.bofh.it>
From: Zhaoyang Huang <zhaoyang.huang@spreadtrum.com:wq>

It is no need to find the very beginning of the area within
alloc_vmap_area, which can be done by judging each node during the process

For current approach, the worst case is that the starting node which be found
for searching the 'vmap_area_list' is close to the 'vstart', while the final
available one is round to the tail(especially for the left branch).
This commit have the list searching start at the first available node, which
will save the time of walking the rb tree'(1)' and walking the list(2).

      vmap_area_root
          /      \
     tmp_next     U
        /   (1)
      tmp
       /
     ...
      /
    first(current approach)

vmap_area_list->...->first->...->tmp->tmp_next
                            (2)

This still doesn't answer questions posted for your previous version
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170717070024.GC7397@dhcp22.suse.cz

Please note that is really important to describe _why_ the patch is
needed. What has changed can be easily read in the diff...

I did some test on an ARM64 platform and found that there is no great help nor
regression for vmalloc. By more investigation, I find that the vmalloc area for
64bit arch is too huge to reach the end of the vmap_free_list, which have the
new allocated area just grow up(seems no chance to use the rb tree). I
will try to
find a 32bit platform for more test.
