That would be this part:

+found:
+	/* We found a suitable gap. Clip it with the original low_limit. */
+	if (gap_start < info->low_limit)
+		gap_start = info->low_limit;
+
+	/* Adjust gap address to the desired alignment */
+	gap_start += (info->align_offset - gap_start) & info->align_mask;
+
+	VM_BUG_ON(gap_start + info->length > info->high_limit);
+	VM_BUG_ON(gap_start + info->length > gap_end);
+	return gap_start;
+}
