In many cases, the pages passed to vmap() may include high-order pages—for example, the systemheap often allocates pages in descending order: order 8, then 4, then 0. Currently, vmap() iterates over every page individually—even the 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.
Another possibility is to implement a new API, vmap_sg(). However, that change seems to be quite large in scope.
When vmapping a 128MB dma-buf using the systemheap, this RFC appears to make system_heap_do_vmap() 16× faster:
