[RFC PATCH 2/3] mm/secretmem: use __GFP_UNMAPPED to allocate pages

From: Mike Rapoport
Date: Thu Jan 27 2022 - 03:56:35 EST


From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently secertmem explicitly removes allocated pages from the direct map.
This fragments direct map because allocated pages may reside in different
pageblocks.

Use __GFP_UNMAPPED to utilize caching of unmapped pages done by the page
allocator.
