Otherwise you are essentially rounding it up twice which happens to work but looks rather odd. It may also lead to bugs later on if somebody uses digest_size as the digest size. > ret = -ENOMEM; > digest = kzalloc(digest_size + desc_size, GFP_KERNEL); So I would replace this with digest = kzalloc(ALIGN(digest_size, desc_align) + desc_size, GFP_KERNEL); > if (!digest) > goto error_no_desc; > > - desc = digest + digest_size; > + desc = PTR_ALIGN(digest + digest_size, __alignof__(*desc)); This looks good.
