Linux 2.6.x : cpm_dpalloc alignment bug perhaps not fully resolved

[Laurent Lagrange]

Hi Leo,

Thanks for the reply.

The patch, I already applied, comes directly from Pantelis
and is the same code as found at
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc/patch?id=3484

What do you mean by the alignment patch ?

I suspect a problem in the cpm_dpfree function,
not in the cpm_dpalloc function.

I'll try to give more details.

Best regards
Laurent
