From ca5f9703dffa012cc46166e6206c5a992910e041 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pekka Enberg Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2006 23:31:25 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] slab: respect architecture and caller mandated alignment As explained by Heiko, on s390 (32-bit) ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is set to eight because their common I/O layer allocates data structures that need to have an eight byte alignment. This does not work when CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG is enabled because kmem_cache_create will override alignment to BYTES_PER_WORD which is four. So change kmem_cache_create to ensure cache alignment is always at minimum what the architecture or caller mandates even if slab debugging is enabled.
