Some mempool hw like octeontx/fpa block, demands block size
(/total_elem_sz) aligned object start address.
Introducing an MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS flag.
If this flag is set:
- Align object start address(vaddr) to a multiple of total_elt_sz.
- Allocate one additional object. Additional object is needed to make
sure that requested 'n' object gets correctly populated.
Example:
- Let's say that we get 'x' size of memory chunk from memzone.
- And application has requested 'n' object from mempool.
- Ideally, we start using objects at start address 0 to...(x-block_sz)
for n obj.
- Not necessarily first object address i.e. 0 is aligned to block_sz.
- So we derive 'offset' value for block_sz alignment purpose i.e..'off'.
- That 'off' makes sure that start address of object is blk_sz aligned.
- Calculating 'off' may end up sacrificing first block_sz area of
memzone area x. So total number of the object which can fit in the
pool area is n-1, Which is incorrect behavior.
Therefore we request one additional object (/block_sz area) from memzone
when MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS flag is set.
