Re: [PATCH v3 25/25] IB/mlx4: Workaround for mlx4_alloc_priv_pages() array allocator

Can't the driver advertize smaller quantity for what's occupies later
those last eight bytes (255 or 511 of
attr XX instead of 256 or 512)?

Not sure I understand your question. Are you suggesting that the driver
would expose that it's capable of 256 pages per MR?

I am asking if we can advertize something else what would cause not to
fall into the last
eight bytes on a page, e.g if we fall there since we advertize for
some attr N, lets advertize N-1

just asking

We do advertise 511 pages, but the code still needs an aligned
allocation to avoid the last 8 bytes.
