This guy here tested kmalloc versus vmalloc. http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0405.1/0559.html His result: for runtime performance vmalloc'ated memory doesn't appear to perform worse than kmalloc'ed. But that's just one single result I found on google. What does aufs do more often? 'allocate' the memory, or 'use' the allocated memory?
