Subject: [f2fs-dev] [PATCH v2] f2fs_io: adapt w/ page_size in aligned_xalloc()
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2026 07:33:57 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260617073357.93682-1-chao@kernel.org> (raw)
When allocating memory in aligned_xalloc(), if the requested alignment
(e.g., F2FS_DEFAULT_BLKSIZE) is smaller than the system's page size,
aligned_alloc() will allocate memory that is not page-aligned on systems
with 16KB or 64KB page sizes.
As a result, subsequent calls to madvise(..., MADV_HUGEPAGE) will fail
because madvise() requires the memory address and length to be page-aligned.
Fix this by dynamically adjusting the alignment and rounding up the requested
allocation size (via roundup()) to the system's page size, ensuring that
memory is correctly page-aligned for madvise().
