When a module gets unloaded there is a possibility that some of the
allocations it made are still used and therefore the allocation tags
corresponding to these allocations are still referenced. As such, the
memory for these tags can't be freed. This is currently handled as an
abnormal situation and module's data section is not being unloaded.
To handle this situation without keeping module's data in memory,
allow codetags with longer lifespan than the module to be loaded into
their own separate memory. The in-use memory areas and gaps after
module unloading in this separate memory are tracked using maple trees.
Allocation tags arrange their separate memory so that it is virtually
contiguous and that will allow simple allocation tag indexing later on
in this patchset. The size of this virtually contiguous memory is set
to store up to 100000 allocation tags.

The changes around here are dependent upon Mike's "module: make
module_memory_{alloc,free} more self-contained", which is no longer in
mm-unstable.  I assume Mike is working on a v2 so I'll park this series
for now.

Looks like the last update on Mike's patchset was back in May. Let me
check with Mike if he is planning to get it out soon. I would like my
patchset to get into 6.12 if possible.
Thanks,
Suren.

6.12 or 6.13?

Right, it's 6.13 at this point.
