[PATCH] fs: don't randomized kiocb fields

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Keith Busch <kbusch@xxxxxxxxxx>

This is a size sensitive structure and randomizing can introduce extra
padding that breaks io_uring's fixed size expectations. There are few
fields here as it is, half of which need a fixed order to optimally
pack, so the randomization isn't providing much.
