Subject: memblock: add assertion for zero allocation alignment
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=94f3d3afb65f27d4e7b8251e323c6418982cb9c7;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

memblock: add assertion for zero allocation alignment

This came to light when calling memblock allocator from arc port (for
copying flattended DT).  If a "0" alignment is passed, the allocator
round_up() call incorrectly rounds up the size to 0.

round_up(num, alignto) => ((num - 1) | (alignto -1)) + 1

While the obvious allocation failure causes kernel to panic, it is better
to warn the caller to fix the code.

Tejun suggested that instead of BUG_ON(!align) - which might be
ineffective due to pending console init and such, it is better to WARN_ON,
and continue the boot with a reasonable default align.

Caller passing @size need not be handled similarly as the subsequent
panic will indicate that anyhow.
