I just built and booted an ia64 2.6.29 kernel. While accessing NFS
filesystems, I occassionally get:
kernel unaligned access to 0xe00007bc3b8f67b9, ip=0xa00000020a61e370
kernel unaligned access to 0xe00007bc3b8f67b1, ip=0xa00000020a61e3d1
grep a00000020a61 /proc/modules
lockd 146448 1 nfs, Live 0xa00000020a610000
These come in pairs. I tracked it down to the lockd.ko kernel module
and then objdump'd to find we are in:
nsm_get_handle
nsm_init_private():
/data/lwork/attica2/holt/git-linus/v2.6.29/fs/lockd/mon.c:280

Had a few minutes to look around.

This one is:
u64 *p = (u64 *)&nsm->sm_priv.data;
...
*p = (unsigned long)nsm;
sm_priv.data is an unsigned char array, so there are no alignment
rules. You either need to use memcpy, or not define it as an unsigned
char. Tony, any suggestions?

Haven't gotten to this one yet.

Well, that was easy. This is the store part of
*p++ = timespec_to_ns(&ts);
Again, comes down to &nsm->sm_priv.data not being aligned.

memcpy() might not work in this scenerio.
GCC can still emit an inline 64-bit memory access if it
deems that the objects involved should be sufficiently
aligned.
It might not be able to in this specific case, but it is
something to be aware of. Don't be convinced of any fix
for this until the assembler is inspected by hand :-)
