The MR memory allocation requests extra bytes to guarantee that there
is enough space to find the memory aligned to MLX5_UMR_ALIGN.
For power-of-two sizes, the alignment can be guaranteed by kmalloc()
according to commit 59bb47985c ("mm, sl[aou]b: guarantee natural
alignment for kmalloc(power-of-two)").
So if target alignment is power-of-two and adding the extra bytes
crosses a power-of-two boundary, use the next power-of-two as the
allocation size.

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.
