On contiguous allocation, we round up the size
to the *next* power of 2, implement a function
to free the unused pages after the newly allocate block.
v2(Matthew Auld):
- replace function name 'drm_buddy_free_unused_pages' with
drm_buddy_block_trim
- replace input argument name 'actual_size' with 'new_size'
- add more validation checks for input arguments
- add overlaps check to avoid needless searching and splitting
- merged the below patch to see the feature in action
- add free unused pages support to i915 driver
- lock drm_buddy_block_trim() function as it calls mark_free/mark_split
are all globally visible
v3(Matthew Auld):
- remove trim method error handling as we address the failure case
at drm_buddy_block_trim() function
v4:
- in case of trim, at __alloc_range() split_block failure path
marks the block as free and removes it from the original list,
potentially also freeing it, to overcome this problem, we turn
the drm_buddy_block_trim() input node into a temporary node to
prevent recursively freeing itself, but still retain the
un-splitting/freeing of the other nodes(Matthew Auld)
- modify the drm_buddy_block_trim() function return type
v5(Matthew Auld):
- revert drm_buddy_block_trim() function return type changes in v4
- modify drm_buddy_block_trim() passing argument n_pages to original_size
as n_pages has already been rounded up to the next power-of-two and
passing n_pages results noop
v6:
- fix warnings reported by kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>
v7:
- modify drm_buddy_block_trim() function doc description
- at drm_buddy_block_trim() handle non-allocated block as
a serious programmer error
- fix a typo

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.
