By delaying the setting of prev/next VMA until after the write of NULL, the probability of the prev/next VMA already being in the CPU cache is significantly increased, especially for larger munmap operations. It also means that prev/next will be loaded closer to when they are used. This requires changing the loop type when gathering the VMAs that will be freed. Since prev will be set later in the function, it is better to reverse the splitting direction of the start VMA (modify the new_below argument to __split_vma). Using the vma_iter_prev_range() to walk back to the correct location in the tree will, on the most part, mean walking within the CPU cache. Usually, this is two steps vs a node reset and a tree re-walk. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230724183157.3939892-16-Liam.Howlett@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Liam R.

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.
