[PATCH v6 16/71] kernel/fork: Use maple tree for dup_mmap() during forking

From: Liam Howlett
Date: Tue Feb 15 2022 - 09:44:08 EST


From: "Liam R. Howlett" <Liam.Howlett@xxxxxxxxxx>

The maple tree was already tracking VMAs in this function by an earlier
commit, but the rbtree iterator was being used to iterate the list.
Change the iterator to use a maple tree native iterator and switch to
the maple tree advanced API to avoid multiple walks of the tree during
insert operations. Unexport the now-unused vma_store() function.

For performance reasons we bulk allocate the maple tree nodes. The node
calculations are done internally to the tree and use the VMA count and
assume the worst-case node requirements. The VM_DONT_COPY flag does
not allow for the most efficient copy method of the tree and so a bulk
loading algorithm is used.
