From 3f53d1b4a4d27daa7dcbab7b09c1c4052313ab87 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Haoyang Liu Date: Tue, 15 Oct 2024 22:01:59 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] docs/dev-tools: fix a typo fix a typo in dev-tools/kmsan.rst [jc: this is not really a typo, but "iff" is clearly a confusing construct for non-native speakers; changing it will prevent people from trying to "fix" it repeatedly.] Signed-off-by: Haoyang Liu Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241015140159.8082-1-tttturtleruss@hust.edu.cn --- Documentation/dev-tools/kmsan.rst | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/Documentation/dev-tools/kmsan.rst b/Documentation/dev-tools/kmsan.rst index 6a48d96c5c85b..0dc668b183f6c 100644 --- a/Documentation/dev-tools/kmsan.rst +++ b/Documentation/dev-tools/kmsan.rst @@ -133,7 +133,7 @@ KMSAN shadow memory ------------------- KMSAN associates a metadata byte (also called shadow byte) with every byte of -kernel memory. A bit in the shadow byte is set iff the corresponding bit of the +kernel memory. A bit in the shadow byte is set if the corresponding bit of the kernel memory byte is uninitialized. Marking the memory uninitialized (i.e. setting its shadow bytes to ``0xff``) is called poisoning, marking it initialized (setting the shadow bytes to ``0x00``) is called unpoisoning. -- 2.49.0
