Subject: [PATCH] slab: Fix too strict alignment check in create_cache()
Date: Wed, 20 Nov 2024 13:46:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <80c767a5d5927c099aea5178fbf2c897b459fa90.1732106544.git.geert@linux-m68k.org> (raw)

On m68k, where the minimum alignment of unsigned long is 2 bytes:

    Kernel panic - not syncing: __kmem_cache_create_args: Failed to create slab 'io_kiocb'. Error -22
    CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper Not tainted 6.12.0-atari-03776-g7eaa1f99261a #1783

The minimal alignment of an integral type may differ from its size,
hence is not safe to assume that an arbitrary freeptr_t (which is
basically an unsigned long) is always aligned to 4 or 8 bytes.

As nothing seems to require the additional alignment, it is safe to fix
this by relaxing the check to the actual minimum alignment of freeptr_t.

Fixes: aaa736b186239b7d ("io_uring: specify freeptr usage for SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU io_kiocb cache")
Fixes: d345bd2e9834e2da ("mm: add kmem_cache_create_rcu()")
