Subject: [PATCH] kmsan: fix kmsan_handle_dma() to avoid false positives
Date: Thu,  2 Oct 2025 14:10:24 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251002051024.3096061-1-syoshida@redhat.com> (raw)

KMSAN reports an uninitialized value issue in dma_map_phys()[1].  This
is a false positive caused by the way the virtual address is handled
in kmsan_handle_dma().  Fix it by translating the physical address to
a virtual address using phys_to_virt().
