Store allocated objects in a separate nodes. A va->va_start address is converted into a correct node where it should be placed and resided. An addr_to_node() function is used to do a proper address conversion to determine a node that contains a VA. Such approach balances VAs across nodes as a result an access becomes scalable. Number of nodes in a system depends on number of CPUs. Please note: 1. As of now allocated VAs are bound to a node-0. It means the patch does not give any difference comparing with a current behavior; 2. The global vmap_area_lock, vmap_area_root are removed as there is no need in it anymore. The vmap_area_list is still kept and is _empty_. It is exported for a kexec only; 3. The vmallocinfo and vread() have to be reworked to be able to handle multiple nodes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
