[PATCH v2 1/4] resources: ensure alignment callback doesn't allocate below available start

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

 



The alignment callback returns a proposed location, which may have been
adjusted to avoid ISA aliases or for other architecture-specific reasons.
We already had a check ("tmp.start < tmp.end") to make sure the callback
doesn't return a location above the available area.

This patch adds a check to make sure the callback doesn't return something
*below* the available area, as may happen if the callback tries to allocate
top-down.
