Subject[RFC v1] mm: add the preempt check into alloc_vmap_area()
Date
During finding a suitable hole in the vmap_area_list
there is an explicit rescheduling check for latency reduction.
We do it, since there are workloads which are sensitive for
long (more than 1 millisecond) preemption off scenario.
