    Various notifications of type "BUG kmalloc-4096 () : Redzone
    overwritten" have been observed recently in various parts of the kernel.
    After some time, it has been made a relation with the use of BTRFS
    filesystem and with SLUB_DEBUG turned on.

    Commit 69d24804 ("btrfs: use copy_page for copying pages instead of
    memcpy") changed the way bitmap blocks are copied. But allthough bitmaps
    have the size of a page, they were allocated with kzalloc().
    
    Most of the time, kzalloc() allocates aligned blocks of memory, so
    copy_page() can be used. But when some debug options like SLAB_DEBUG are
    activated, kzalloc() may return unaligned pointer.
    
    On powerpc, memcpy(), copy_page() and other copying functions use
    'dcbz' instruction which provides an entire zeroed cacheline to avoid
    memory read when the intention is to overwrite a full line. Functions
    like memcpy() are writen to care about partial cachelines at the start
    and end of the destination, but copy_page() assumes it gets pages. As
    pages are naturally cache aligned, copy_page() doesn't care about
    partial lines. This means that when copy_page() is called with a
    misaligned pointer, a few leading bytes are zeroed.
    
    To fix it, allocate bitmaps through kmem_cache instead of using kzalloc()
    The cache pool is created with PAGE_SIZE alignment constraint.
