Since commit 59bb47985c ("mm, sl[aou]b: guarantee natural alignment
for kmalloc(power-of-two)"), the core slab code now guarantees slab
alignment in all situations sufficient for IO purposes (i.e. minimum
of 512 byte alignment of >= 512 byte sized heap allocations) we no
longer need the workaround in the XFS code to provide this
guarantee.
Replace the use of kmem_alloc_io() with kmem_alloc() or
kmem_alloc_large() appropriately, and remove the kmem_alloc_io()
interface altogether.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
