Hi All, We are using MIPS(mips32r2) target. when I alloc memory using kmalloc suppose 28 bytes, the kernel still consume 128 bytes. So when I check File on kernel source mach-ip32/kmalloc.h Since it is allign to 128 bytes so i understand that even if I consume 1 byte it will waste 128 bytes. #ifndef __ASM_MACH_IP32_KMALLOC_H #define __ASM_MACH_IP32_KMALLOC_H #if defined(CONFIG_CPU_R5000) || defined(CONFIG_CPU_RM7000) #define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN 32 #else #define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN 128 #endif #endif /* __ASM_MACH_IP32_KMALLOC_H */ So I could not understand why it is allign to 128 bytes. Is there any specific reason for it. ? thanks
