So where there is a surety that rounding value would be power of 2, round_closest* macros are recommended. Regarding the use-cases, there are drivers already using such type of macros locally [1] and new drivers such as [2] required it, so we aligned to have generic macros for all rounding to nearest value scenarios (this patch was earlier part of another series with 7 revisions, see the discussions here [2]). > (i.e., is there any potential caller that would actually care about the > rounding direction for borderline cases?) I think a transparent scheme is better where caller should be aware of rounding direction for borderline cases too so that it gets predictable values w.r.t what it requested for rather than leaving it ambiguous. For e.g. in this patchset [3], it suited more to use round_closest_down instead of round_closest_up keeping in mind hw constraints and use-case requirements, but same might not be true for other drivers. Same was aligned in earlier patch submissions too [2]. > >> #define DIV_ROUND_UP __KERNEL_DIV_ROUND_UP >> >> #define DIV_ROUND_DOWN_ULL(ll, d) \ >> @@ -77,6 +123,23 @@ >> } \ >> ) >> >> +/** >> + * roundclosest - round to nearest multiple >> + * @x: the value to round >> + * @y: multiple to round nearest to >> + * >> + * Rounds @x to nearest multiple of @y. >> + * The rounded value can be greater than or less than @x depending >> + * upon it's nearness to @x.

But anyways, I could make it as below which would yield the same result as arguments are non-multiple of 2: #define roundclosest(x, y) roundup((x) - (y) / 2, (y)) > The existing rounddown() already leaves something to be desired IIUC: if > given a negative dividend, it looks like it actually rounds up, at least > on some arches.
