| |
kmalloc_node returns unaligned pointers on powerpc, when CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB is enabled. This makes iptables very unhappy. It checks the alignment in net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6_tables.c:check_entry_size_and_hooks(). __alignof__(struct ip6t_entry) returns 8. But returned pointers from xt_alloc_table_info() are unaligned:
