dmatest buffer size alignment honoring

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Looking at the code it seems that dmatest takes the max aligned buffer
size from the actual allocated buffer size. This can make the buffer
being tested much smaller than the actual specified test buffer size.
When testing, the intent is to test up to N bytes of buffers right?
Shouldn't we try to allocate a buffer that's large enough to accommodate
the alignment restriction and then work on the aligned buffer instead?

i.e.
src_buf = kmalloc(buf_size+align, GFP_KERNEL);
src_off += (unsigned long)PTR_ALIGN(src_buf, align) - (unsigned
long)src_buf;
