Subject: [PATCH] devres: Align data[] to ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN
Git-commit: a66d972465d15b1d89281258805eb8b47d66bd36
Patch-mainline: v4.20-rc5
References: bsc#1051510
Initially we bumped into problem with 32-bit aligned atomic64_t
on ARC, see [1]. And then during quite lengthly discussion Peter Z.
mentioned ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN which IMHO makes perfect sense.
If allocation is done by plain kmalloc() obtained buffer will be
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN aligned and then why buffer obtained via
devm_kmalloc() should have any other alignment?
This way we at least get the same behavior for both types of
allocation.
