[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 4/7] efi_loader: Track size of pool allocations to allow freeing

Stefan Brüns stefan.bruens at rwth-aachen.de
Sat Oct 1 23:32:26 CEST 2016


allocate_pool has to return a buffer which is 8-byte aligned. Shift the
region returned by allocate_pages by 8 byte and store the size in the
headroom. The 8 byte overhead is neglegible, but provides the required
size when freeing the allocation later.
