[v1 3/5] mm: add "zero" argument to vmemmap allocators

Fri Mar 24 10:01:51 AEDT 2017


Allow clients to request non-zeroed memory from vmemmap allocator.
The following two public function have a new boolean argument called zero:

__vmemmap_alloc_block_buf()
vmemmap_alloc_block()

When zero is true, memory that is allocated by memblock allocator is zeroed
(the current behavior), when argument is false, the memory is not zeroed.

This change allows for optimizations where client knows when it is better
to zero memory: may be later when other CPUs are started, or may be client
is going to set every byte in the allocated memory, so no need to zero
memory beforehand.
