Subject: [U-Boot] [PATCH v5 2/2] dlmalloc: fix malloc range at end of ram
Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2019 21:22:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190425192240.5925-2-simon.k.r.goldschmidt@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190425192240.5925-1-simon.k.r.goldschmidt@gmail.com>
If the malloc range passed to mem_malloc_init() is at the end of address
range and 'start + size' overflows to 0, following allocations fail as
mem_malloc_end is zero (which looks like uninitialized).
Fix this by subtracting 1 of 'start + size' overflows to zero.

Changes in v5:
- this patch was 1/2 in v4 but is now 2/2 as the 2nd patch of v4 has
already been accepted
- rearrange the code to make it only 8 bytes plus in code size for arm
(which fixes smartweb SPL overflowing)
