Subject: [PATCH 3/3] kernel: irq: use kmem_cache for allocating struct irqaction
Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2014 15:06:58 +0300

After enabling alignment checks in UBSan I've noticed several
reports like this:

   UBSan: Undefined behaviour in kernel/irq/manage.c:1315:13
   member access within misaligned address ffff88007c274558
   for type 'struct irqaction' which requires 16 byte alignment

struct irqaction declared with ____cacheline_internodealigned_in_smp
attribute. However in some cases it allocated dynamically via kmalloc().
In general case kmalloc() guaranties only sizeof(void *) alignment.
We should use a separate slab cache to make struct irqaction
properly aligned on SMP configuration.

Note: UBSan reports says that 'struct irqaction' requires 16 byte alignment.
It's wrong, in my setup it should be 64 bytes. This looks like a gcc bug,
but it doesn't change the fact that irqaction is misaligned.
