[PATCH v5 26/70] mm: Remove vmacache
Liam Howlett
liam.howlett at oracle.com
Tue Feb 1 18:42:09 PST 2022
From: "Liam R. Howlett" <Liam.Howlett at Oracle.com>
By using the maple tree and the maple tree state, the vmacache is no
longer beneficial and is complicating the VMA code. Remove the vmacache
to reduce the work in keeping it up to date and code complexity.
