Why do we need more than the existing:
if (flags & SLAB_RED_ZONE || flags & SLAB_STORE_USER)
ralign = __alignof__(unsigned long long);

Where __alignof__(long long) > BYTES_PER_WORD my patch should lead to
this layout (32-bit words):
[ redzone1 bits 63-32 ]
[ redzone1 bits 31-0 ]
[ ... object ... ]
[ ... object ... ]
[ redzone2 bits 63-32 ]
[ redzone2 bits 31-0 ]
[ unused ]
[ user word ]
The user word is a 32-bit value; there's no requirement for _it_ to be
aligned.
Hm, actually I think my patch may be incomplete -- I need to adjust the
size of the actual object too. This patch should be better...
