From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Reversing the patches that made all caches hw cacheline aligned had an unintended side effect on the kmalloc caches: Before they had the SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN flag set, now it's clear. This breaks one sgi driver - it expects aligned caches. Additionally I think it's the right thing to do: It costs virtually nothing (the caches are power-of-two sized) and could reduce false sharing. Additionally, the patch adds back the documentation for the SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN flag.
