If you try to store u64 in a kfifo (or a struct with u64 members), then the buf member of __STRUCT_KFIFO_PTR will cause 4 bytes padding due to alignment (note that struct __kfifo is 20 bytes on 32 bit). That in turn causes the __is_kfifo_ptr() to fail, which is caught by kfifo_alloc(), which now returns EINVAL. So, ensure that __is_kfifo_ptr() compares to the right structure.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
