[PATCH] rust: alloc: satisfy `aligned_alloc` requirements
Posted by Tamir Duberstein 1 year ago
The implementation added in commit dd09538fb409 ("rust: alloc: implement
`Cmalloc` in module allocator_test") did not honor the documented
requirements of `aligned_alloc`. These requirements may not be enforced
on all system, but they are on macOS. Ensure that alignment is at least
`sizeof(void *)` and round size up to the nearest multiple of that
value.

Fixes: dd09538fb409 ("rust: alloc: implement `Cmalloc` in module allocator_test")

Good catch!

I think I prefer this to be slightly more compact:

   let min_align = core::mem::size_of::<*const crate::ffi::c_void>();
   let (align, size) = if layout.align() < min_align {
       (min_align, layout.size().div_ceil(min_align) * min_align)
   } else {
       (layout.align(), layout.size())
   };

I was trying to avoid repeated calls to either function, but I'm happy
to shorten the variable names. Would that suit?

I think calling layout.align() twice is fine, no need shadow align for that.

Sure. Anything else?
