commit 541e06b772 upstream.
Preallocations are common in the VMA code to avoid allocating under
certain locking conditions. The preallocations must also cover the
worst-case scenario. Removing the GFP_ZERO flag from the
kmem_cache_alloc() (and bulk variant) calls will reduce the amount of time
spent zeroing memory that may not be used. Only zero out the necessary
area to keep track of the allocations in the maple state. Zero the entire
node prior to using it in the tree.
This required internal changes to node counting on allocation, so the test
code is also updated.
This restores some micro-benchmark performance: up to +9% in mmtests mmap1
by my testing +10% to +20% in mmap, mmapaddr, mmapmany tests reported by
