Subject: [PATCH v6 01/10] mm/memory: add memory_block_aligned_range() helper
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 17:18:33 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260630211842.2252800-2-gourry@gourry.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260630211842.2252800-1-gourry@gourry.net>
Memory hotplug operations require ranges aligned to memory block
boundaries. This is a generic operation for hotplug.
Add memory_block_aligned_range() as a common helper in <linux/memory.h>
that aligns the start address up and end address down to memory block
boundaries. Guard against end underflow when the range falls below the
first memory block boundary, returning an empty range instead.
Update dax/kmem to use this helper.
Signed-off-by: Gregory Price <gourry@gourry.net>
