With the recent59bb47985c("mm, sl[aou]b: guarantee natural alignment for kmalloc(power-of-two)"), kzalloc() is able to allocate a 4KB buffer that is guaranteed to be 4KB-aligned. Here the size and alignment of hbus is important because hbus's field retarget_msi_interrupt_params must not cross a 4KB page boundary. Here we prefer kzalloc to get_zeroed_page(), because a buffer allocated by the latter is not tracked and scanned by kmemleak, and hence kmemleak reports the pointer contained in the hbus buffer (i.e. the hpdev struct, which is created in new_pcichild_device() and is tracked by hbus->children) as memory leak (false positive). If the kernel doesn't have59bb47985c, get_zeroed_page() *must* be used to allocate the hbus buffer and we can avoid the kmemleak false positive by using kmemleak_alloc() and kmemleak_free() to ask kmemleak to track and scan the hbus buffer.

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.
