Hi,
Just wondering if this won't hide potential alignment issues of
"table_group.tce32_size", that now trigger EINVAL down the road
and if it wouldn't be safer to round only "memory_hotplug_max()?
const __u64 hotplug_max_p2 = __rounddown_pow_of_two(memory_hotplug_max());
const __u64 window_size =
min((u64)pe->table_group.tce32_size, hotplug_max_p2);
Regards,
Jan
