It does fix the problem. I was reproducing with crc_t10dif: [ 695.890552] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 695.890709] WARNING: CPU: 15 PID: 3019 at ../kernel/jump_label.c:287 static_key_set_entries+0x74/0xa0 [ 695.890710] Modules linked in: crc_t10dif(+) crct10dif_generic crct10dif_common ipt_MASQUERADE nf_nat_masquerade_ipv4 iptable_nat nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_defrag_ipv4 nf_nat_ipv4 xt_addrtype iptable_filter ip_tables xt_conntrack x_tables nf_nat nf_conntrack bridge stp llc dm_thin_pool dm_persistent_data dm_bio_prison dm_bufio libcrc32c kvm virtio_balloon binfmt_misc autofs4 virtio_net virtio_pci virtio_ring virtio Which had: [21] __jump_table PROGBITS 0000000000000000 0004e8 000018 00 WA 0 0 1 And now has: [18] __jump_table PROGBITS 0000000000000000 0004d0 000018 00 WA 0 0 8 And all other modules have an alignment of 8 on __jump_table, as expected. I'm inclined to merge a version of the balign patch for powerpc anyway, just to be on the safe side. I guess the old code was coping fine with the unaligned keys, but it still makes me nervous. cheers
