Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 19.11.14

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 11/18/22. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/cpaelzer/dpdk-stable-queue

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/cpaelzer/dpdk-stable-queue/commit/6768e641e2faf6ebb859d38b067309bce33c23cf

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] malloc: fix storage size for some allocations

[ upstream commit f92b9ebed03dbd140a5a7b921cb898e661a59068 ]

The amount of memory to allocate from the system for heap expansion
was calculated in a way that may yield one page more than needed.
This could hit the allocation limit from the system or EAL.
The allocation would fail despite enough memory being available.

In response to mail:
https://inbox.dpdk.org/dev/CAEYuUWCnRZNwxiOHEeTHw0Gy9aFJRLZtvAG9g=smuUvUEMcFXg@mail.gmail.com/

A reproducer has been provided by Dmitry, see:
https://inbox.dpdk.org/dev/20220922015212.03bfde66@sovereign/

Fixes: 07dcbfe0101f ("malloc: support multiprocess memory hotplug")
