Subject: [PATCH v2 4/8] null_blk: Suppress an UBSAN complaint triggered when setting 'memory_backed'
Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2020 18:44:37 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200220024441.11558-5-bvanassche@acm.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200220024441.11558-1-bvanassche@acm.org>

Although it is not clear to me why UBSAN complains when 'memory_backed'
is set, this patch suppresses the UBSAN complaint that is triggered when
setting that configfs attribute.

UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in drivers/block/null_blk_main.c:327:1
load of value 16 is not a valid value for type '_Bool'
CPU: 2 PID: 8396 Comm: check Not tainted 5.6.0-rc1-dbg+ #14
