Well yeah there is some sucky part about vmapping things (same as in yours, possibly more in mine since its general and not specific to the page cache). On the other hand a generic vcompound fallback will allow us to use the page allocator in many places where we currently have to use vmalloc because the allocations are too big. It will allow us to get rid of most of the vmalloc uses and thereby reduce TLB pressure somewhat. The vcompound patchset is almost ready..... Maybe bits and pieces may even help fsblock. -
