commit b3d8aa84bb upstream.
Currently the rust allocator simply passes the size of the type Layout
to krealloc(), and in theory the alignment requirement from the type
Layout may be larger than the guarantee provided by SLAB, which means
the allocated object is mis-aligned.
Fix this by adjusting the allocation size to the nearest power of two,
which SLAB always guarantees a size-aligned allocation. And because Rust
guarantees that the original size must be a multiple of alignment and
the alignment must be a power of two, then the alignment requirement is
satisfied.

This crate contains the bindings to the C side of the kernel.
Calling C (in general, FFI) is assumed to be unsafe in Rust
and, in many cases, this is accurate. For instance, virtually
all C functions that take a pointer are unsafe since, typically,
it will be dereferenced at some point (and in most cases there
is no way for the callee to check its validity beforehand).
Since one of the goals of using Rust in the kernel is precisely
to avoid unsafe code in "leaf" kernel modules (e.g. drivers),
these bindings should not be used directly by them.
Instead, these bindings need to be wrapped into safe abstractions.
These abstractions provide a safe API that kernel modules can use.
In this way, unsafe code in kernel modules is minimized.
