Like other architectures, arm defines ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN in arch/arm/include/asm/cache.h. arch/arm/include/asm64/cache.h doesn't define ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN afaict. If arch/arm/include/asm64/cache.h later gets a definition of ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN then we again face the risk that different .c files will see different values of ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN depending on which headers they include. So what to say about this? The architecture's ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN should be defined in the architecture's cache.h, end of story. Not in slab.h, not in kasan.h.
