Subject: [PATCH v2] rsi: remove unecessary PTR_ALIGN()s
Date: Fri, 6 Apr 2018 11:37:17 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180406083717.GA21857@mwanda> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87woxletat.fsf@kamboji.qca.qualcomm.com>

The issue here is that we allocate "data" and then set
"data = PTR_ALIGN(data, 8);" and then we free the aligned pointer
instead of the original pointer.

kmalloc() pointers are already ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN aligned which is 8 or
more on everything except certain Xtensa variants.  We decided that if
the Xtensa people ever notice a bug here then we'll tell them the bug is
on their side.  ;)

v2: Instead of saving the original pointer, just remove the ALIGN()s
