The busy tree can be quite big, even though the area is freed or unmapped it still stays there until "purge" logic removes it. 1) Optimize and reduce the size of "busy" tree by removing a node from it right away as soon as user triggers free paths. It is possible to do so, because the allocation is done using another augmented tree. The vmalloc test driver shows the difference, for example the "fix_size_alloc_test" is ~11% better comparing with default configuration: sudo ./test_vmalloc.sh performance <default> Summary: fix_size_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 993985 usec Summary: full_fit_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 973554 usec Summary: long_busy_list_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 12617652 usec <default> <this patch> Summary: fix_size_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 882263 usec Summary: full_fit_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 973407 usec Summary: long_busy_list_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 12593929 usec <this patch> 2) Since the busy tree now contains allocated areas only and does not interfere with lazily free nodes, introduce the new function show_purge_info() that dumps "unpurged" areas that is propagated through "/proc/vmallocinfo". 3) Eliminate VM_LAZY_FREE flag.

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.
