mainlining shenanigans
9f531973df
We used to include an alignment overhead into a search length, in that
case we guarantee that a found area will definitely fit after applying a
specific alignment that user specifies. From the other hand we do not
guarantee that an area has the lowest address if an alignment is >=
PAGE_SIZE.
It means that, when a user specifies a special alignment together with a
range that corresponds to an exact requested size then an allocation
will fail. This is what happens to KASAN, it wants the free block that
exactly matches a specified range during onlining memory banks:
[root@vm-0 fedora]# echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory82/state
[root@vm-0 fedora]# echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory83/state
[root@vm-0 fedora]# echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory85/state
[root@vm-0 fedora]# echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory84/state

Fix it by making sure that find_vmap_lowest_match() returns lowest start
address with any given alignment value, i.e. for alignments bigger then
PAGE_SIZE the algorithm rolls back toward parent nodes checking right
sub-trees if the most left free block did not fit due to alignment
overhead.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
