[PATCH RFC v3 35/36] kmsan: ext4: skip block merging logic in ext4_mpage_readpages for KMSAN

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

 



KMSAN doesn't allow treating adjacent memory pages as such, if they were
allocated by different alloc_pages() calls.
ext4_mpage_readpages() however does so: adjacent pages end up being passed
together to dma_direct_map_sg().
To prevent this, jump directly to the buffer_head-based read function in
KMSAN builds.
