unless there are some patches in the queue, the whole area of rounding up and aligning is still sort of messy. kernel.h defines the following: ... #define ALIGN(x,a) __ALIGN_MASK(x,(typeof(x))(a)-1) #define __ALIGN_MASK(x,mask) (((x)+(mask))&~(mask)) ... #define DIV_ROUND_UP(n,d) (((n) + (d) - 1) / (d)) #define roundup(x, y) ((((x) + ((y) - 1)) / (y)) * (y)) ... yet there is no corresponding DIV_ROUND_DOWN() or rounddown(), just for the sake of consistency. (maybe there's simply no need?) would someone like to propose a single, consistent standard for those things? or is it not worth it? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
