no, the current code doesn't achieve the above results as shown below
size=0x10000 -> fls_long(0x10000)=17 -> alignment=0x20000
size=0x0f000 -> fls_long(0x0f000)=16 -> alignment=0x10000
it is wrong for power of 2 value such as size=0x10000

no, my patch will results in the following calculations
size=0x10000: alignment=0x10000
size=0x0f000: alignment=0x10000

okay, it is the aim of my patch as explained above
i provide another solution as shown below
i appreciate it since it is more canonical
please help to review and apply it kindly

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] mm/vmalloc: fix align value calculation error

it causes double align requirement for __get_vm_area_node() if parameter
size is power of 2 and VM_IOREMAP is set in parameter flags

get_order_long() is implemented and used instead of fls_long() for
fixing the bug
