The patch titled slab allocators: remove multiple alignment specifications has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was slab-allocators-remove-multiple-alignment-specifications.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: slab allocators: remove multiple alignment specifications From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx> It is not necessary to tell the slab allocators to align to a cacheline if an explicit alignment was already specified. It is rather confusing to specify multiple alignments. Make sure that the call sites only use one form of alignment.
