Hi, Compared to previous version, add alignment checking to make sure memory space storing redzone2 and last user tags is 8 byte alignment. >From 949e8c29e8681a2359e23a8fbd8b9d4833f42344 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shiyong Li <shi-yong.li@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 12 Apr 2010 13:48:21 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] Fix missing of last user info while getting DEBUG_SLAB config enabled. Even with SLAB_RED_ZONE and SLAB_STORE_USER enabled, kernel would NOT store redzone and last user data around allocated memory space if arch cache line > sizeof(unsigned long long). As a result, last user information is unexpectedly MISSED while dumping slab corruption log. This fix makes sure that redzone and last user tags get stored unless the required alignment breaks redzone's.
