[PATCH v7 2/8] mm: vmalloc: don't account for number of nodes for HUGE_VMAP allocations

From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@kernel.org>
Date: 2024-10-23 16:28:09
Also in: bpf, linux-alpha, linux-arch, linux-m68k, linux-mips, linux-mm, linux-modules, linux-riscv, linux-sh, linux-trace-kernel, linux-um, lkml, loongarch, sparclinux
Subsystem: memory management, the rest, vmalloc · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Linus Torvalds, Uladzislau Rezki

From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@kernel.org>

vmalloc allocations with VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP that do not explicitly
specify node ID will use huge pages only if size_per_node is larger than
a huge page.
Still the actual allocated memory is not distributed between nodes and
there is no advantage in such approach.
On the contrary, BPF allocates SZ_2M * num_possible_nodes() for each
new bpf_prog_pack, while it could do with a single huge page per pack.

Don't account for number of nodes for VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP with
NUMA_NO_NODE and use huge pages whenever the requested allocation size
is larger than a huge page.
