The iterator functions pcpu_next_md_free_region and pcpu_next_fit_region use the block offset to determine if they have checked the area in the prior iteration. However, this causes an issue when the block offset is greater than subsequent block contig hints. If within the iterator it moves to check subsequent blocks, it may fail in the second predicate due to the block offset not being cleared. Thus, this causes the allocator to skip over blocks leading to false failures when allocating from the reserved chunk. While this happens in the general case as well, it will only fail if it cannot allocate a new chunk. This patch resets the block offset to 0 to pass the second predicate when checking subseqent blocks within the iterator function.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
