I've got another one for you: SLOB ignores ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN so using SLOB in combination with DMA and non-coherent architectures causes data corruption. That said, there are currently very few architectures that define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN, so I guess it might be something I'm doing wrong on avr32. But I'd really like to know how other non-coherent architectures handle DMA to buffers sharing cachelines with unrelated data...
