[PATCH v5 28/44] kmsan: disable physical page merging in biovec

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

 



KMSAN metadata for adjacent physical pages may not be adjacent,
therefore accessing such pages together may lead to metadata
corruption.
We disable merging pages in biovec to prevent such corruptions.
