Subject: [patch 7/13] s390: fix slab debugging.
Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2006 17:04:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060424150424.GH15613@skybase> (raw)
From: Christian Borntraeger <cborntra@de.ibm.com>
[patch 7/13] s390: fix slab debugging.
With CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG=y networking over qeth doesn't work. The
problem is that the qib structure embedded in the qeth_irq
structure needs an alignment of 256 but kmalloc only guarantees
an alignment of 8. When using SLAB debugging the alignment of
qeth_irq is not sufficient for the embedded qib structure which
causes all users of qdio (qeth and zfcp) to stop working.
Allocate qeth_irq structure with __get_free_page. That wastes
a small amount of memory (~2500 bytes) per online adapter.
