[PATCH 33/43] kmsan: disable physical page merging in biovec

From: Alexander Potapenko
Date: Tue Dec 14 2021 - 11:24:08 EST


KMSAN metadata for consequent physical pages may be inconsequent,
therefore accessing such pages together may lead to metadata
corruption.
We disable merging pages in biovec to prevent such corruptions.
