Hi Ard,

Thanks for your reply.

In my understanding address and size need to meet consistent alignment constraints,If I understand wrong, please reject this patch.

Best,

GaoSheng.

We are doing page-based allocations, and both the address

for the size alignment is a better choice.

Why is it a better choice? If I allocate a 2 MB aligned block of
memory, why is it better to align the size to a multiple of 2 MB as
well?
