Series mm/vmalloc.c: allow vread() to read out vm_map_ram areas |

Commit Message

  Through vmalloc API, a virtual kernel area is reserved for physical
address mapping. And vmap_area is used to track them, and vm_struct is
allocated to associate with the vmap_area to store more information and
passed out.

However, area reserved via vm_map_ram() is an exception. It doesn't have
vm_struct to associate with vmap_area. And we can't simply recognize the
vm_map_ram areas with '->vm == NULL' because the normal freeing path will
set va->vm = NULL before unmapping, please see function remove_vm_area().

Meanwhile, there are two types of vm_map_ram area. One is the whole
vmap_area being reserved and mapped at one time; the other is the
whole vmap_area with VMAP_BLOCK_SIZE size being reserved, while mapped
into split regions with smaller size several times.

To mark the area reserved through vm_map_ram(), add flags into the
union field of struct vmap_area to reuse the space since that union
space is free anyway if it's vm_map_ram area.

This is a preparatoin for later use.
