It's sort of weird that this is an alignment issue. The config that was posted earlier was an x86_64 config and on that system then the pointers from kmalloc() should already be aligned correctly at sizeof(u64).
Earlier I said I suspected the code is racy, so possibly changing from kmalloc() to get_zeroed_page() just changes the timing enough so we don't see the race condition. regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
