Subject: [merged mm-stable] x86-fs-kmsan-disable-config_dcache_word_access.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Mon, 03 Oct 2022 14:09:05 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221003210906.334CDC433C1@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: x86: fs: kmsan: disable CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
x86-fs-kmsan-disable-config_dcache_word_access.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: x86: fs: kmsan: disable CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS
Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2022 17:04:12 +0200
dentry_string_cmp() calls read_word_at_a_time(), which might read
uninitialized bytes to optimize string comparisons. Disabling
CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS should prohibit this optimization, as well as
(probably) similar ones.
