From: Scott Wood swood@redhat.com
[ Upstream commit 9b70de6d0266888b3743f03802502e43131043c8 ]
The bnx2x driver is not providing proper alignment on the receive buffers it passes to build_skb(), causing skb_shared_info to be misaligned. skb_shared_info contains an atomic, and while PPC normally supports unaligned accesses, it does not support unaligned atomics.
Aligning the size of rx buffers will ensure that page_frag_alloc() returns aligned addresses.
This can be reproduced on PPC by setting the network MTU to 1450 (or other non-multiple-of-4) and then generating sufficient inbound network traffic (one or two large "wget"s usually does it), producing the following oops:
