Subject: mm: do not reset cached_hole_size when vma is unmapped
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f44d21985eb6af7361d3785e26923355172147bd;p=linux-beck.git

mm: do not reset cached_hole_size when vma is unmapped

In the current code, cached_hole_size is set to the maximum value if the
unmapped vma is less that free_area_cache so the next search will search
from the base address.

Actually, we can keep cached_hole_size so that if the next required size
is more than cached_hole_size, it can search from free_area_cache.
