Add a simple check to reject any size not aligned to the min_page_size. when size is not aligned to min_page_size, driver module should handle in their own way either to round_up() the size value to min_page_size or just to enable WARN_ON(). If we dont handle the alignment properly, we may hit the following bug, Unigine Heaven has allocation requests for example required pages are 257 and alignment request is 256. To allocate the left over 1 page, continues the iteration to find the order value which is 0 and when it compares with min_order = 8, triggers the BUG_ON(order < min_order). v2: add more commit description v3: remove WARN_ON() Signed-off-by: Arunpravin Paneer Selvam <Arunpravin.PaneerSelvam@amd.com> Suggested-by: Matthew Auld <matthew.auld@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Matthew Auld <matthew.auld@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20220411073834.15210-1-Arunpravin.PaneerSelvam@amd.com Signed-off-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com>
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.
