[PATCH] mm/vmalloc: map contiguous pages in batches for vmap() whenever possible

by Barry Song

From: Barry Song <v-songbaohua(a)oppo.com> In many cases, the pages passed to vmap() may include high-order pages allocated with __GFP_COMP flags. For example, the systemheap often allocates pages in descending order: order 8, then 4, then 0. Currently, vmap() iterates over every page individually—even pages inside a high-order block are handled one by one. This patch detects high-order pages and maps them as a single contiguous block whenever possible. An alternative would be to implement a new API, vmap_sg(), but that change seems to be large in scope. When vmapping a 128MB dma-buf using the systemheap, this patch makes system_heap_do_vmap() roughly 17× faster.

[PATCH] dma-fence: Clarify external lock use case in dma_fence_init() docs

by Maíra Canal

The kerneldoc comment on dma_fence_init() and dma_fence_init64() describe the legacy reason to pass an external lock as a need to prevent multiple fences "from signaling out of order". However, this wording is a bit misleading: a shared spinlock does not (and cannot) prevent the signaler from signaling out of order. Signaling order is the driver's responsibility regardless of whether the lock is shared or per-fence. What a shared lock actually provides is serialization of signaling and observation across fences in a given context, so that observers never see a later fence signaled while an earlier one is not. Reword both comments to describe this more accurately. Signed-off-by: Maíra Canal <mcanal(a)igalia.com> --- Hi, While reading the documentation, I found this particular paragraph quite hard to understand. As I understand it, locks don't enforce order, only serialization, but the paragraph seems to communicate the other way around. Due to that, I had the impression that the current wording can be misleading for driver developers. I'm proposing a new wording to better describe the use case of the external lock based on my understanding, but it would be great to hear the feedback and suggestions from more experienced developers who might have more insight about these legacy use cases.
