Subject: [kvm-unit-tests 2/5] lib: s390x: sie: Allocate physical guest memory via memalign
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 08:45:42 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260415085145.91197-3-frankja@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260415085145.91197-1-frankja@linux.ibm.com>

alloc_pages_flags() alignes the allocation on the same order as its
requested size. Since we use virtual memory for SIE we can instead
align to 1MB by using memalign() which is less wasteful.
