Subject: [PATCH 44/94] mm: Remove vmacache
Date: Wed, 28 Apr 2021 15:36:10 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210428153542.2814175-45-Liam.Howlett@Oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210428153542.2814175-1-Liam.Howlett@Oracle.com>

The maple tree is able to find a VMA quick enough to no longer need the
vma cache.  Remove the vmacache to reduce work in keeping it up to date
and code complexity.

Signed-off-by: Liam R. Howlett <Liam.Howlett@Oracle.com>
