I agree that it would be lying to the compiler, but I don't think this matters for arm64 where the CPU can do unaligned accesses just fine. We don't even end up with unaligned accesses here. Let's say we have: struct x { ... } __attribute__ ((__aligned__ (128))); and the kmalloc(sizeof(struct x)) returns a 64-byte aligned pointer. The compiler-generated code won't have any problem on arm64 accessing the struct x members. As I said a few times, it's not affecting any other architecture and not breaking arm64 either. Anyway, let's agree to disagree. I'll look into keeping CRYPTO_MINALIGN as ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN and introduce a CRYPTO_DMA_MINALIGN (or just use ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN directly) together with something like Linus' dma_kmalloc() in places where an object aligned to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN is needed in the crypto code. -- Catalin _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
