[ Upstream commit 659aa050a53817157b7459529538598a6449c1d3 ]
Currently get_free_mem_region() searches for available capacity
in increments equal to the region size being requested. This can
cause the search to take giant steps through the resource leaving
needless gaps and missing available space.
Specifically 'cxl create-region' fails with ERANGE even though capacity
of the given size and CXL's expected 256M x InterleaveWays alignment can
be satisfied.
Replace the total-request-size increment with a next alignment increment
so that the next possible address is always examined for availability.

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.
