Hi Linus,
This is a fix for the first chunk size calculation where the variable
length array incorrectly used # of longs instead of bytes of longs. This
came in as a code fix and not a bug report, so I don't think it was
widely problematic. I believe it worked out due to it being memblock
memory and alignment requirements working in our favor.
Thanks,
Dennis
