[v3,10/11] mm/vmalloc: Enter lazy mmu mode while manipulating vmalloc ptes

Commit Message

Ryan Roberts March 4, 2025, 3:04 p.m. UTC

Wrap vmalloc's pte table manipulation loops with
arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() / arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode(). This provides
the arch code with the opportunity to optimize the pte manipulations.

Note that vmap_pfn() already uses lazy mmu mode since it delegates to
apply_to_page_range() which enters lazy mmu mode for both user and
kernel mappings.

These hooks will shortly be used by arm64 to improve vmalloc
performance.
