mm: vmalloc: avoid calling __find_vmap_area() twice in __vunmap()
Currently the __vunmap() path calls __find_vmap_area() twice. Once on entry to check that the area exists, then inside the remove_vm_area() function which also performs a new search for the VA. In order to improvie it from a performance point of view we split remove_vm_area() into two new parts: - find_unlink_vmap_area() that does a search and unlink from tree; - __remove_vm_area() that removes without searching. In this case there is no any functional change for remove_vm_area() whereas vm_remove_mappings(), where a second search happens, switches to the __remove_vm_area() variant where the already detached VA is passed as a parameter, so there is no need to find it again. Performance wise, i use test_vmalloc.sh with 32 threads doing alloc free on a 64-CPUs-x86_64-box: perf without this patch: - 31.41% 0.50% vmalloc_test/10 [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __vunmap - 30.92% __vunmap - 17.67% _raw_spin_lock native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath - 12.33% remove_vm_area - 11.79% free_vmap_area_noflush - 11.18% _raw_spin_lock native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath 0.76% free_unref_page perf with this patch: - 11.35% 0.13% vmalloc_test/14 [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __vunmap - 11.23% __vunmap - 8.28% find_unlink_vmap_area - 7.95% _raw_spin_lock 7.44% native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath - 1.93% free_vmap_area_noflush - 0.56% _raw_spin_lock 0.53% native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath 0.60% __vunmap_range_noflush __vunmap() consumes around ~20% less CPU cycles on this test. Also, switch from find_vmap_area() to find_unlink_vmap_area() to prevent a double access to the vmap_area_lock: one for finding area, second time is for unlinking from a tree.
