[PATCH v7 5/7] mm/vmalloc: Extract vm_shift() to consolidate mapping shift selection

From: Wen Jiang

Date: Wed Jul 15 2026 - 08:11:55 EST


Extract the vmalloc mapping shift selection from
__vmalloc_node_range_noprof() into vm_shift(), preparing for reuse by the
vmap batching path.

No functional change.
