The patch titled
s390: fix slab debugging
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
s390-fix-slab-debugging.patch
This patch was probably dropped from -mm because
it has now been merged into a subsystem tree or
into Linus's tree, or because it was folded into
its parent patch in the -mm tree.
From: Christian Borntraeger <cborntra@xxxxxxxxxx>
With CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG=y networking over qeth doesn't work. The problem is
that the qib structure embedded in the qeth_irq structure needs an alignment
of 256 but kmalloc only guarantees an alignment of 8. When using SLAB
debugging the alignment of qeth_irq is not sufficient for the embedded qib
structure which causes all users of qdio (qeth and zfcp) to stop working.
Allocate qeth_irq structure with __get_free_page. That wastes a small amount
of memory (~2500 bytes) per online adapter.
