[$] A pair of memory-allocation improvements in 5.13
Thursday May 6, 2021. 04:23 PM , from LWN.net
Among the many changes merged for 5.13 can be found performance
improvements throughout the kernel. This work does not always stand out the way that new features do, but it is vitally important for the future of the kernel overall. In the memory-management area, a couple of long-running patch sets have finally made it into the mainline; these provide a bulk page-allocation interface and huge-page mappings in the vmalloc() area. Both of these changes should make things faster, at least for some workloads.
