Do you mean as per Ard's proposal here: https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAMj1kXH0x5Va7Wgs+mU1ONDwwsazOBuN4z4ihVzO2uG-n41Kbg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx struct crypto_request { union { struct { ... fields ... }; u8 __padding[ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN]; }; void __ctx[] __aligned(CRYPTO_MINALIGN); }; If CRYPTO_MINALIGN is lowered to, say, 8 (to be the same as lowest ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN), the __alignof__(req->__ctx) would be 8. Functions like crypto_tfm_ctx_alignment() will return 8 when what you need is 128. We can change those functions to return ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN instead or always bump cra_alignmask to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN-1. -- Catalin
