Objective --------- The current implementation of struct vmap_area wasted space. After applying this commit, sizeof(struct vmap_area) has been reduced from 11 words to 8 words. Description ----------- 1) Pack "subtree_max_size", "vm" and "purge_list". This is no problem because A) "subtree_max_size" is only used when vmap_area is in "free" tree B) "vm" is only used when vmap_area is in "busy" tree C) "purge_list" is only used when vmap_area is in vmap_purge_list 2) Eliminate "flags". ;Since only one flag VM_VM_AREA is being used, and the same thing can be done by judging whether "vm" is NULL, then the "flags" can be eliminated.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
