[PATCH] slab debug and ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN don't get along

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

 



When CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG is used in combination with ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN,
some debug flags should be disabled which depend on BYTES_PER_WORD
alignment.

The disabling of these debug flags is not properly handled when
BYTES_PER_WORD < ARCH_SLAB_MEMALIGN < cache_line_size()

This patch fixes that and also adds an alignment check to
cache_alloc_debugcheck_after() when ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN is used.
