Hi Catalin, thank for your review, I will update in the next version,

Could you take a look the following change, is it OK?

void __init vm_area_register_early(struct vm_struct *vm, size_t align)

{

          struct vm_struct *next, *cur, **p;
          unsigned long addr = ALIGN(VMALLOC_START, align);
BUG_ON(vmap_initialized);

          for (p = &vmlist; (cur = *p) != NULL, next = cur->next; p = 
&next) {
                  addr = ALIGN((unsigned long)cur->addr + cur->size, 
align);
                  if (next && (unsigned long)next->addr - addr >= 
vm->size) {
                          p = &next;
break;
}
}

          BUG_ON(addr > VMALLOC_END - vm->size);
          vm->addr = (void *)addr;
          vm->next = *p;
          *p = vm;
}
