Currently __vunmap() path calls __find_vmap_area() two times. One on
entry to check that area exists, second time inside remove_vm_area()
function that also performs a new search of VA.

In order to improvie it from a performance point of view we split
remove_vm_area() into two new parts:
  - find_unlink_vmap_area() that does a search and unlink from tree;
  - __remove_vm_area() that does a removing but without searching.

In this case there is no any functional change for remove_vm_area()
whereas vm_remove_mappings(), where a second search happens, switches
to the __remove_vm_area() variant where already detached VA is passed
as a parameter, so there is no need to find it again.

Performance wise, i use test_vmalloc.sh with 32 threads doing alloc
free on a 64-CPUs-x86_64-box:

perf without this patch:
-   31.41%     0.50%  vmalloc_test/10  [kernel.vmlinux]    [k] __vunmap
   - 30.92% __vunmap
      - 17.67% _raw_spin_lock
           native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath
      - 12.33% remove_vm_area
         - 11.79% free_vmap_area_noflush
            - 11.18% _raw_spin_lock
                 native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath
        0.76% free_unref_page

perf with this patch:
-   11.35%     0.13%  vmalloc_test/14  [kernel.vmlinux]    [k] __vunmap
   - 11.23% __vunmap
      - 8.28% find_unlink_vmap_area
         - 7.95% _raw_spin_lock
              7.44% native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath
      - 1.93% free_vmap_area_noflush
         - 0.56% _raw_spin_lock
              0.53% native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath
        0.60% __vunmap_range_noflush

__vunmap() consumes around ~20% less CPU cycles on this test.

Some pedantic grammar/spelling stuff:-

(I know it can be a little annoying to get grammatical suggestions so I do hope
that it isn't too irritating!)

For the Subject line:-
'mm: vmalloc: Avoid of calling __find_vmap_area() twise in __vunmap()' ->
'mm: vmalloc: Avoid calling __find_vmap_area() twice in __vunmap()'

Perhaps slightly tweak to:-

"Currently the __vunmap() path calls __find_vmap_area() twice. Once on entry
 to check that the area exists, then inside the remove_vm_area() function
 which also performs a new search for the VA."

'that does a removing but without searching' reads better I think as
'that removes without searching'.

'where already detached VA' -> 'where the already detached VA' as a minor nit
here!

Very nice, amazing work!

Do we want to do the same in free_vmap_area()?

Really nice separation of concerns and cleanup.

Perhaps rename this to va_remove_mappings() or vmap_area_remove_mappings() since
it is now explicitly accepting a vmap_area rather than vm_struct?

Feels like it's getting a bit confusing with 'va' representing vmap_area and
'area' which represents... vm_struct (this file has a bunch of naming
inconsistencies like this actually), perhaps rename this to 'vm'?

Other than some pendatic points about grammar/naming this looks really good!

A sorry.  I need more coffee, this is not the cover letter, but the
patch that introduceѕ find_unlink_vmap_area.

As mentioned before, I'd much rather move this into the callers.

This can drop the va local variable now.

I like this patch. This takes off the va->vm clearning too. Finally I
don't need to worry about the va->flags clearing during unmapping
when reading out vmap_block areas.

The free_vmap_area() is a bit special. It only pairs with alloc_vmap_area(). 
There are two users and both invoke free_vmap_area() in a error path. So probably
it would be good to remove it fully. But it requires some refactoring.

I agree. There is a discrepancy. I can rename it to the va_remove_mappings()
if there are no any complains from others.

We can. I think it should be a separate patch-set for refactoring of
things like: va, vm, area, vmap, etc :)

Sorry. I should post it with a cover latter to make it less confusing.

Agree. There is only one caller, it is the free_vmap_block().
Will fix in the v3.

Do you mean like:

struct vm_struct *remove_vm_area(const void *addr)
{
    might_sleep();
    return __remove_vm_area(
        find_unlink_vmap_area((unsigned long) addr));
}

?

Thanks for review!

Thanks. This patch was one of the reason to help out with the per-cpu
busy areas tracking/reading of your work :)

OK. Will eliminate that local variable.
