From 123c8fc1c2535c429d2119a0470fc31e770c9204 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Keith Busch Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2022 15:56:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fs: don't randomize struct kiocb fields This is a size sensitive structure and randomizing can introduce extra padding that breaks io_uring's fixed size expectations. There are few fields here as it is, half of which need a fixed order to optimally pack, so the randomization isn't providing much.
