Linux kernel source tree
0a1844bf0b
Problem statement: The current method roundup_power_of_two()
to allocate contiguous address triggers -ENOSPC in some cases
even though we have enough free spaces and so to help with
that we introduce a try harder mechanism.
In case of -ENOSPC, the new try harder mechanism rounddown the
original size to power of 2 and iterating over the round down
sized freelist blocks to allocate the required size traversing
RHS and LHS.
As part of the above new method implementation we moved
contiguous/alignment size computation part and trim function
to the drm buddy file.
v2: Modify the alloc_range() function to return total allocated size
on -ENOSPC err and traverse RHS/LHS to allocate the required
size (Matthew).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
