Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 2/2] gpu/buddy: bail out of try_harder when alignment cannot be honoured
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 10:19:30 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260723141931.3218899-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260723141931.3218899-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Arunpravin Paneer Selvam <Arunpravin.PaneerSelvam@amd.com>

[ Upstream commit 56bc6384314fb9ae98975fb2af8b143097ede3dc ]

The try_harder contiguous fallback could return a range whose start
offset did not match the caller's min_block_size. When a candidate's
start is misaligned, realign it: free the misaligned run and reallocate
exactly @size at the next lower min_block_size boundary. This keeps the
returned size unchanged with no surplus to trim, and rejects the request
only when no aligned candidate fits.

v2: align misaligned candidates down to min_block_size instead of
    bailing out, for both the RHS and LHS paths (Matthew).
