Subject[PATCH 0/1] mm/debug_vm_pgtable: fix alignment for pmd/pud_advanced_tests()
Date
We sometimes see a "BUG task_struct (Not tainted): Padding overwritten"
on s390, directly after running debug_vm_pgtable. This is because of
wrong vaddr alignment in pmd/pud_advanced_tests(), leading to memory
corruption at least on s390, see patch description.

At first glance, other architectures do not seem to care about vaddr in
their xxx_get_and_clear() implementations, so they should not be affected.
One exception is sparc, where the addr is passed over to some tlb_batch
code, but I'm not sure what implication the wrongly aligned vaddr would
have in this case.

Also adding linux-arch, just to make sure.
