kmalloc_node returns unaligned memory

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



kmalloc_node returns unaligned pointers on powerpc, when CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB
is enabled. This makes iptables very unhappy. It checks the alignment in
net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6_tables.c:check_entry_size_and_hooks(). 
__alignof__(struct ip6t_entry) returns 8. But returned pointers from
xt_alloc_table_info() are unaligned:

 ip_nat_init: can't setup rules.
 sys_init_module(1960) modprobe(1687):c0,j4294904071 iptable_nat returned -22
...

Any ideas how to fix that?
