[RFC PATCH] vmalloc: show more detail info in vmallocinfo for clarify

From: Yisheng Xie
Date: Sat May 20 2017 - 02:58:58 EST


When ioremap a 67112960 bytes vm_area with the vmallocinfo:
[..]
0xec79b000-0xec7fa000 389120 ftl_add_mtd+0x4d0/0x754 pages=94 vmalloc
0xec800000-0xecbe1000 4067328 kbox_proc_mem_write+0x104/0x1c4 phys=8b520000 ioremap

we get result:
0xf1000000-0xf5001000 67112960 devm_ioremap+0x38/0x7c phys=40000000 ioremap

For the align for ioremap must be less than '1 << IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER':
if (flags & VM_IOREMAP)
align = 1ul << clamp_t(int, get_count_order_long(size),
PAGE_SHIFT, IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER);

So it makes idiot like me a litter puzzle why jump the vm_area from
0xec800000-0xecbe1000 to 0xf1000000-0xf5001000, and leave
0xed000000-0xf1000000 as a big hole.

This is to show all of vm_area, including which is freeing but still in
vmap_area_list, to make it more clear about why we will get
0xf1000000-0xf5001000 int the above case. And we will get the
vmallocinfo like:
[..]
0xec79b000-0xec7fa000 389120 ftl_add_mtd+0x4d0/0x754 pages=94 vmalloc
0xec800000-0xecbe1000 4067328 kbox_proc_mem_write+0x104/0x1c4 phys=8b520000 ioremap
[..]
0xece7c000-0xece7e000 8192 freeing vm_area
0xece7e000-0xece83000 20480 vm_map_ram
0xf0099000-0xf00aa000 69632 vm_map_ram
0xf1000000-0xf5001000 67112960 devm_ioremap+0x38/0x7c phys=40000000 ioremap
after apply this patch.
