You are an expert Linux kernel maintainer and security engineer.
Your job is to review a provided patch series and evaluate whether it warrants fuzzing with syzkaller.

IMPORTANT: The changes have ALREADY been applied and committed as the HEAD commit in
your workspace. Do NOT rely on internal assumptions. You must actively use your code access
tools to inspect the actual source code, callers, and surrounding context.

================================================================================
1. CORE TRIAGE PHILOSOPHY
================================================================================
The goal of patch fuzzing is to discover crashes, regressions, exposed latent bugs,
and newly triggered assertions introduced by the patch series.

- REACHABILITY IS THE PRIMARY GATE:
  Fuzzing can only discover bugs in code that can actually execute in standard virtualized
  environments (GCE or QEMU, utilizing software-emulated devices like USB gadgets, netdev, tun/tap).
  If the modified code is structurally unreachable (see Section 2), it MUST NOT be fuzzed,
  regardless of whether it adds assertions or complex logic.

- DO NOT BLINDLY TRUST "NO FUNCTIONAL CHANGE" (NFCI) OR "REFACTORING" CLAIMS:
  Patch authors routinely label changes as "cleanups", "refactorings", or state
  "No functional change intended". Do NOT take these claims at face value.
  Code refactorings that rearrange logic, introduce helper functions, or alter state management
  in core subsystems frequently introduce subtle semantic shifts or uncover latent kernel bugs.
  If reachable executable code is modified or refactored, it MUST be fuzzed.

- NEW OR MODIFIED ASSERTIONS IN REACHABLE CODE MUST BE FUZZED:
  When a patch introduces or modifies runtime checks or assertions (e.g., WARN_ON*, VM_WARN_ON*,
  BUG_ON*, lockdep_assert*) in reachable code paths, it enforces new or stricter invariants.
  Even if the author believes the invariant always holds, fuzzing is essential to verify whether
  an unusual sequence of operations can violate it.

================================================================================
2. WHEN TO RETURN WorthFuzzing=false (NEGATIVE CRITERIA)
================================================================================
Return WorthFuzzing=false ONLY IF all modified code falls strictly into one or more of these categories:

- Non-kernel and non-executable changes:
  * Modifications to Documentation/, comments, or spelling fixes.
  * User-space directories, self-tests, samples, or scripts (e.g., tools/, samples/, scripts/, usr/)
    that do not affect the compiled kernel image (vmlinux) or kernel modules.
  * Purely decorative logging (e.g., message strings in pr_err, printk, dev_info) or tracepoints
    that do not alter control flow or data structures.
  * Build system or Kconfig changes that do not alter compiled C logic.
- Structurally unreachable hardware:
  * Vendor-specific PCIe switches, SmartNICs, or GPU drivers (e.g., mlxsw, pds_core, qed,
    ionic, amdgpu) requiring physical ASIC/PCIe cards not emulated in standard QEMU.
- Unreachable execution paths:
  * Driver teardown callbacks (.remove, .shutdown, pci_unregister_driver) executed only during
    physical PCI hot-unplug or manual sysfs driver unbinding.
  * Code paths exclusive to architectures other than the target architecture.

================================================================================
3. WHEN TO RETURN WorthFuzzing=true (POSITIVE CRITERIA)
================================================================================
Return WorthFuzzing=true whenever the patch touches reachable executable code, including:
- Core Subsystems:
  * Any logic modifications in memory management (mm/), synchronization/locking (kernel/locking/),
    BPF, scheduler, core networking, VFS, or syscall handling.
- Refactorings and Code Cleanups:
  * Any restructuring of reachable data structures, helper abstractions, or algorithm flows.
- Runtime Assertions and Defensive Checks:
  * Any introduction or alteration of assertions (WARN_ON*, VM_WARN_ON*, BUG_ON*, etc.) in reachable paths.
- Reachable Drivers and Protocols:
  * Drivers accessible via virtual buses (virtio, USB gadget, loopback, netlink, binder, sockets, etc.).

================================================================================
4. EXTRACTING FocusSymbols (PREVENTING DILUTION)
================================================================================
When WorthFuzzing=true, you must extract specific kernel functions into FocusSymbols to guide the fuzzer:

- AVOID UBIQUITOUS LIFECYCLE HOT-PATHS:
  Do NOT list generic, ubiquitous functions called by almost every program in the corpus
  (including, but not limited to: general memory allocators and deallocators, page fault
  and trap handlers, or core synchronization primitives; this is not an exhaustive list).
  Listing ubiquitous functions causes the fuzzer to classify thousands of unrelated tests as "focused",
  which severely dilutes fuzzing effort away from the actual changes.

- TARGET SPECIFIC FEATURE LOGIC AND ENTRYPOINTS:
  List functions that specifically implement the logic being added or altered, or direct API entrypoints
  for the subsystem feature under review.

- HANDLING STATIC INLINE FUNCTIONS IN HEADERS (.h):
  Compiler-inlined static functions (such as static inlines in mm/*.h or include/linux/*.h) lack
  distinct symbol addresses in vmlinux and cannot be targeted directly by symbol coverage filters.
  If the changes are primarily in static inline helpers, identify non-static, feature-specific caller
  functions in .c files that exercise them (avoiding ubiquitous lifecycle wrappers).

================================================================================
5. IDENTIFYING EnableConfigs
================================================================================
Identify any specific CONFIG_ options required to properly compile and reach the modified code:
- Inspect Kconfig files and #ifdef guards; do not make assumptions.
- Check "depends on" lines in Kconfig to include any non-standard parent subsystem configs needed.
- Strip any 'CONFIG_' prefix (e.g., return "NET_IPV4" instead of "CONFIG_NET_IPV4").
Prefer calling several tools at the same time to save round-trips.


Use set-results tool to provide results of the analysis.
It must be called exactly once before the final reply.
Ignore results of this tool.

**Analyzing the RXRPC Code Change**

Okay, let's dive into this diff. My initial thought is to understand the scope and implications of these modifications within the RXRPC subsystem. It seems we're dealing with socket option handling and a related function, likely affecting how response management is configured at the socket level.

The diff itself is pretty concise. In `af_rxrpc.c`, the direct setting and clearing of the `RXRPC_SOCK_MANAGE_RESPONSE` flag using `set_bit` and `clear_bit` within `rxrpc_setsockopt` has been replaced with a call to `assign_bit`. Similarly, in `server_key.c` within `rxrpc_sock_set_manage_response`, the same change has been made.

My immediate assumption is that `assign_bit` is a more generic and potentially safer way to manipulate a bit within a bitfield, maybe offering atomic updates or some other useful abstraction. I need to confirm this assumption. Now, I should look into the definition of `assign_bit`. I need to see exactly what `assign_bit` does. To confirm this, I need to look up its definition or how it's used within this context. I will use `grepper` or equivalent tool to find it within the codebase, or a good starting point is probably the kernel documentation. Understanding the behavior of `assign_bit` is key to confirming whether this is a functionally equivalent refactoring, a performance optimization, or perhaps a bug fix or security enhancement.

**Analyzing Bit Assignment and Socket Options**

Okay, so I'm looking at this macro definition: `#define assign_bit(nr, addr, value) ((value) ? set_bit((nr), (addr)) : clear_bit((nr), (addr)))`. It's a pretty straightforward conditional assignment for a bit within a memory address. Standard bit manipulation stuff, nothing groundbreaking there. Essentially, it checks if `value` is true; if it is, it calls `set_bit` on the bit `nr` at address `addr`; otherwise, it calls `clear_bit` at the same address. Efficient way to handle bit toggling based on a boolean condition.

Now, let's see where this is being *used*. I've identified two files that have been modified: `net/rxrpc/af_rxrpc.c`, specifically within the `rxrpc_setsockopt` function, and `net/rxrpc/server_key.c`, inside the `rxrpc_sock_set_manage_response` function. Given my expertise, I already have a good idea of what's probably going on in these areas. `rxrpc_setsockopt` likely involves setting socket options, and bit manipulation within the options makes a lot of sense, given the flexibility of those mechanisms. `rxrpc_sock_set_manage_response` probably relates to setting up the behavior of server-side response management, and that could easily involve toggling flags (i.e., bits) to configure how the server handles replies.

To get a clearer picture, I'll quickly examine the relevant code snippets in those files, around line 722 in `af_rxrpc.c` and line 205 in `server_key.c`. This will give me more context on what bits are being assigned and what the overall intention is with these changes. I'm expecting to find that `assign_bit` is being used to configure some network parameters, socket options, or perhaps even security-related flags within the RxRPC protocol. Let's dig in and see.

Here's my take on those thoughts:

**Digging into `server_key.c`**

Okay, so we're focusing on `server_key.c` again. I know this code pretty well, but given the nature of the problem, it’s worth revisiting that file, and specifically around line 205. There's usually a specific reason I hone in on a particular line; it's a hunch based on the symptoms, maybe past experiences with similar issues, or perhaps a lingering suspicion about how that part interacts with the rest of the system. Let's see if line 205 holds any clues. I’m thinking there might be something subtle happening around key generation, validation, or perhaps how the server handles incoming key material in that immediate vicinity of the code. Time to fire up the debugger and take a close look at the surrounding logic.

**Fuzzing Decision for the Patch Series**

Okay, let's break this down systematically. The core principle here is to discover potential issues introduced by this patch series through fuzzing. The key question is whether this specific change warrants fuzzing.

First, I need to stick to the triage philosophy: Reachability is king. Can the modified code actually *execute* in a standard environment? The instructions warn me *not* to blindly trust claims of "no functional change" or refactoring. Any alteration to reachable code, regardless of the stated intention, requires my attention.

I need to apply the negative criteria carefully. Does the modified code fall *strictly* within one of the exemptions listed in Section 2? It can't be documentation changes, user-space tools, decorative logging, unreachable hardware, or inaccessible execution paths. If none of those exemptions apply, I'm leaning toward fuzzing.

My analysis focuses on this line: `assign_bit` replacing an `if/else` block. The critical clue is the context: this change is in `net/rxrpc/af_rxrpc.c` within the `rxrpc_setsockopt` function. So, is this reachable? It is part of the network stack, specifically, the AF_RXRPC socket protocol, which is accessible from userspace via `setsockopt`.

Let's check those negative criteria. Nope, this isn't any of those exemptions.

Considering the positive criteria, Section 3 confirms that any modification, *especially* refactorings, to reachable code must be fuzzed. It doesn't matter if the authors say it's just cleanup.

Therefore, because this is compiled kernel C code, reachable from userspace, and it's a refactoring of logic within a core subsystem (network stack), the patch definitely warrants fuzzing. The decision is WorthFuzzing = true.

Now, I'll review Kconfig options.

Here's my take on the thought process, as if it were my own:

**Investigating AF_RXRPC Dependencies**

Okay, so I need to understand the dependencies for `AF_RXRPC`. Given my experience, the first place I'm instinctively going to check is the kernel configuration file. Let's dig into `net/rxrpc/Kconfig`. That's where all the configuration options and their related dependencies should be defined. This Kconfig file will outline any other kernel features or modules that `AF_RXRPC` relies upon. Understanding these dependencies is crucial for any modifications or troubleshooting I might need to do. It's the starting point for really grasping how `AF_RXRPC` is integrated within the networking stack.

Okay, here's my interpretation of that thought process, as if it were my own:

**Digging Deeper into the RXRPC Build Process**

Alright, I'm already looking at the `net/rxrpc/Makefile` for clues about how things are linked and built, but something's nagging at me. I've got a hunch there's a specific key-related component that might be handled a little differently. I think I'll quickly double-check the build configuration for `server_key.c`. I need to ensure it's not being compiled or linked in a way that would bypass my expected inclusion path or cause unexpected dependencies. Best to be thorough, especially when dealing with critical components like key management. It's a quick check, but it could save a lot of debugging time down the road.

**Analyzing the rxrpc Build Configuration**

Okay, so I'm looking at the build configuration here, and it's pretty straightforward. Both `af_rxrpc.o` and `server_key.o` are getting pulled in under the `rxrpc-y` variable, which makes sense – they're core components of the RXRPC implementation. The condition for this, of course, is that `CONFIG_AF_RXRPC` is either set to 'y' or 'm'. No surprises there. And, as expected, we have `CONFIG_INET` as a hard dependency, which also makes total sense given the nature of a network protocol. The real question is, what's calling `rxrpc_sock_set_manage_response`? This seems like the key function we need to understand the control flow, so I'll need to go hunting for the callers. Let's dig into the cross-references and see who's interacting with that function.

{
  "Expression": "rxrpc_sock_set_manage_response"
}

{
  "Output": "fs/afs/rxrpc.c=48=int afs_open_socket(struct afs_net *net)\n--\nfs/afs/rxrpc.c-76-\nfs/afs/rxrpc.c:77:\tret = rxrpc_sock_set_manage_response(socket-\u003esk, true);\nfs/afs/rxrpc.c-78-\tif (ret \u003c 0)\n--\ninclude/net/af_rxrpc.h=93=int rxrpc_sock_set_security_keyring(struct sock *, struct key *);\ninclude/net/af_rxrpc.h:94:int rxrpc_sock_set_manage_response(struct sock *sk, bool set);\ninclude/net/af_rxrpc.h-95-\n--\nnet/rxrpc/server_key.c=175=EXPORT_SYMBOL(rxrpc_sock_set_security_keyring);\n--\nnet/rxrpc/server_key.c-177-/**\nnet/rxrpc/server_key.c:178: * rxrpc_sock_set_manage_response - Set the manage-response flag for a kernel service\nnet/rxrpc/server_key.c-179- * @sk: The socket to set the keyring on\n--\nnet/rxrpc/server_key.c-200- */\nnet/rxrpc/server_key.c:201:int rxrpc_sock_set_manage_response(struct sock *sk, bool set)\nnet/rxrpc/server_key.c-202-{\n--\nnet/rxrpc/server_key.c-211-}\nnet/rxrpc/server_key.c:212:EXPORT_SYMBOL(rxrpc_sock_set_manage_response);\n"

Here's my analysis of that code snippet:

**Deep Dive into `rxrpc_sock_set_manage_response`**

Okay, so the AFS filesystem (`fs/afs/rxrpc.c`) is calling `rxrpc_sock_set_manage_response`. That's the entry point to understand. The key here is *why* AFS is calling this function. Further investigation shows that `rxrpc_sock_set_manage_response` is being invoked through the standard `setsockopt` system call, using the `SOL_RXRPC` level and the `RXRPC_MANAGE_RESPONSE` option. So, now I need to trace *backwards* from `rxrpc_setsockopt` to determine all potential callers and fully grasp the context in which `rxrpc_sock_set_manage_response` is actually being used. This information should illuminate the purpose of managing responses within the RxRPC protocol, particularly as it relates to AFS. I need to see if this is related to flow control, error handling, or some other aspect of the network interaction. I'll focus on how `RXRPC_MANAGE_RESPONSE` influences the socket's behavior. Time to dig in!

**My Analysis of the RxRPC Configuration Landscape**

Okay, let's see what we're dealing with. It looks like the changes are focused on `rxrpc_setsockopt` in `net/rxrpc/af_rxrpc.c` and `rxrpc_sock_set_manage_response` in `net/rxrpc/server_key.c`. Are these general functions or specific to the RxRPC domain? They're definitely not ubiquitous; `rxrpc_setsockopt` is the setsockopt handler *just* for AF_RXRPC sockets, and `rxrpc_sock_set_manage_response` is the kernel API for setting the manage-response flag, specifically used with AF_RXRPC (like AFS).

So, the focus symbols are clearly `rxrpc_setsockopt` and `rxrpc_sock_set_manage_response`. The enable configs I need to consider are `AF_RXRPC` and `INET`.

Now, I need to confirm if `AF_RXRPC` is a boolean or tristate. Ah, it's tristate: "RxRPC session sockets" and it depends on `INET`. Right. What else should I consider here?

Given that AFS uses `rxrpc_sock_set_manage_response` via `CONFIG_AFS_FS`, which is located in `fs/afs/Kconfig`, should `AFS_FS` also be included? Even though `rxrpc_setsockopt` can be accessed directly from user space through `socket(AF_RXRPC, ...)` and `setsockopt(..., SOL_RXRPC, RXRPC_MANAGE_RESPONSE, ...)` , `rxrpc_sock_set_manage_response` gets called from `AFS_FS`, so it seems it should be included. I'll need to go look at `fs/afs/Kconfig` to confirm this.

  "Expression": "config AFS_FS",
  "PathPrefix": "fs/afs"

Here's my take on those thoughts, from my perspective:

**Examining File System Configuration Dependencies**

Okay, time to dig into the dependencies for the AFS file system configuration. I need to understand what other components, kernel features, or settings are required for `fs/afs/Kconfig` to be built and function correctly. I'll need to carefully review the Kconfig file itself, of course. I'll also likely need to cross-reference it with other relevant Kconfig files in the file system (fs/) and potentially the networking (net/) sections, as AFS often has networking implications. This involves tracing dependencies, looking for `depends on` statements, and understanding the logic that governs whether AFS is even *available* as a configuration option. I need to make sure I don't overlook any implicit dependencies either. This isn't just about what's explicitly stated; it's about the bigger picture and potential interactions with other kernel subsystems. Understanding these relationships is crucial for a robust and correct build and also important for debugging.

**My Configuration Decision Process**

Okay, so `AFS_FS` is pulling in `AF_RXRPC`. That's the key. Therefore, my relevant configurations are essentially a choice between `AF_RXRPC` and `AFS_FS`, or alternatively `INET` and `AF_RXRPC`. My instinct is to include both `AF_RXRPC` and `INET` to be on the safe side, covering all bases. Adding `AFS_FS` seems like a good move as well, because that configuration path appears to be what triggers access to `rxrpc_sock_set_manage_response`, and that suggests it might be important.

Before I commit to this fully, I should quickly verify if there are any relevant git log entries or commit messages associated with this code change, or related commits, to confirm my understanding and see if I'm missing any additional context.

**My Assessment: WorthFuzzing = True**

Okay, let's go over this one again, just to be absolutely certain. First, I need to make sure I'm following the triage philosophy. Reachability is key: can the code execute in a standard environment? Yes, always. And I absolutely can't blindly trust claims of "no functional change" or "refactoring." We know that even seemingly innocuous changes can introduce subtle bugs.

Now, the specific situation: I'm looking at modifications to `net/rxrpc/af_rxrpc.c` and `net/rxrpc/server_key.c`. `AF_RXRPC` is a well-defined and reachable socket family that we're already fuzzing with syzkaller. The patch itself is a refactoring, changing `if (val) set_bit(...) else clear_bit(...)` to `assign_bit(...)`. It seems like a simple, clean change.

But here's the crucial part: it *is* a refactoring of reachable, executable code within a networking protocol. Specifically, it's impacting `rxrpc_setsockopt` and `rxrpc_sock_set_manage_response`. The code is directly reachable from user space via `setsockopt` and also from kernel subsystems, like `afs`. Based on the criteria, that's a clear trigger for fuzzing. No doubt.

So, according to the criteria, this patch definitively meets the criteria for `WorthFuzzing=true`. The configurations are present and I've verified the path. Let's send the results.

You are an expert Linux kernel security engineer specializing in kernel memory
error detectors (KASAN and KMSAN). Your job is to review the provided patch series and
determine if the code changes justify spawning a dedicated KMSAN (KernelMemorySanitizer)
fuzzing session in addition to standard KASAN fuzzing.

CRITICAL DISTINCTION BETWEEN KASAN AND KMSAN:
- Standard KASAN kernel builds (upstream-apparmor-kasan.config) already enable
  a comprehensive suite of debugging tools and sanitizers, including KASAN
  (out-of-bounds accesses, use-after-free, double free, invalid free), LOCKDEP
  (locking bugs and deadlocks), UB-sanitizers, and memory corruption checks.
- KMSAN (KernelMemorySanitizer) detects reads of UNINITIALIZED memory (stack, heap,
  or page allocations) and kernel-to-user memory info-leaks.

Rule: THERE IS NO SENSE IN RUNNING A KMSAN SESSION IF A BUG CAN BE CAUGHT BY KASAN,
LOCKDEP, OR OTHER STANDARD BUG DETECTORS.
A dedicated KMSAN fuzzing session incurs significant resource costs. You must ONLY
set NeedsKMSAN=true if the code changes introduce or expose UNINITIALIZED MEMORY risks
that are detected ONLY by KMSAN.

Look holistically at the patch series and surrounding code. Even if no direct
uninitialized field accesses or new buffer allocations are added in the diff itself,
a patch may alter control flow, bounds checking, or data length calculations in ways
that change how the rest of the code operates on existing buffers (e.g. allowing
uninitialized stack/heap memory to be read, copied to user space, or used in control
flow). Do not hesitate to use your code access tools to inspect the surrounding code,
called functions, and callers.

Set NeedsKMSAN=true ONLY IF the patch introduces or modifies:
1. Kernel structures sent to user space (via copy_to_user, put_user, netlink skb
   attributes, ioctl output arguments, socket options, or BPF buffers) where fields
   or structure padding might not be fully initialized/zeroed.
2. Conditional logic or branching that depends on potentially uninitialized variables
   or struct fields.
3. Allocation or initialization of complex data structures where uninitialized fields
   could be read later in reachable code paths.
4. Bounds checks, lengths, or logic in a way that allows surrounding code to access
   uninitialized bytes of existing buffers.

Set NeedsKMSAN=false IF:
- The code changes primarily risk out-of-bounds access, array overflows, NULL pointer
  dereferences, locking deadlocks, or use-after-free bugs (these are already caught
  by KASAN, LOCKDEP, or standard bug detectors).
- All stack/heap structures touched or introduced by the patch are fully zeroed
  or initialized (e.g. using = {0}, memset, kzalloc) before being read or copied.
- The patch does not introduce any risk of uninitialized memory usage or info-leaks.

Use your code access tools to inspect the surrounding code if necessary, then provide
detailed KMSANReasoning contrasting KASAN vs KMSAN applicability for this patch.
Prefer calling several tools at the same time to save round-trips.


Use set-results tool to provide results of the analysis.
It must be called exactly once before the final reply.

**KMSAN Fuzzing Session Consideration**

Alright, let's see. This patch looks relatively straightforward, but I need to decide if it justifies spinning up a dedicated KMSAN fuzzing session. The diff shows changes to `net/rxrpc/af_rxrpc.c` and `net/rxrpc/server_key.c`. It looks like it's simplifying the logic for setting and clearing a flag called `RXRPC_SOCK_MANAGE_RESPONSE` using `assign_bit`. Specifically, the code's using `assign_bit` in place of the older `set_bit`/`clear_bit` conditional logic. This is cleaner, but I need to make sure this doesn't introduce any subtle memory-related issues, especially since it's touching bit operations within socket-related code, which is always an area of heightened interest. I'll need to review the context around those calls, within both files, to understand if this flag is critical for any sensitive operations. While the change itself *seems* safe, my gut says a quick fuzzing session may be warranted just to rule out any potential issues, given the kernel-level nature of the code and the bit manipulation. It could save some headache in the long run.

**Understanding the `assign_bit` Function**

Okay, so I'm looking at this `assign_bit(bit, addr, val)` function. Seems straightforward, but I always like to clarify these things. My initial thought is it's a typical bit manipulation helper. My guess, and I bet it's right, is that it's essentially an `if-else` statement: `if (val)` then call `set_bit(bit, addr)`; otherwise, call `clear_bit(bit, addr)`. Or perhaps, for the non-atomic version, it uses `__assign_bit`. Now, the crucial part is understanding the potential concurrency implications, so `assign_bit` is likely atomic, meaning it handles thread-safety when setting or clearing the bit based on the value of `val`. Best to be certain; I should verify the definition to be absolutely sure, as any assumptions here could be disastrous in a multithreaded environment.

**My Assessment of the `assign_bit` Refactoring**

Okay, so I've been looking at this patch. It's a straightforward refactoring. Essentially, the code replaced `if (val) set_bit(...) else clear_bit(...)` with a macro, `assign_bit`. That macro, as I understand it, just expands to a conditional expression: `((value) ? set_bit((nr), (addr)) : clear_bit((nr), (addr)))`. Pretty clean semantic cleanup.

My immediate concern, as always, is around uninitialized memory. Does this change affect memory allocation, initialization, or how data is copied to userspace? No, not at all. The variable `val` in `af_rxrpc.c` is initialized properly before being used, and has checks on its contents (`copy_safe_from_sockptr`, `if (ret) goto error;`, and `if (val > 1) goto error;`). The `set` parameter in `server_key.c` is just a boolean. There are no changes to how memory is allocated, read, written, or copied. So there's no risk of any KMSAN issues here.

Now, to be really thorough, I need to go through the checklist. Let's make sure:

1.  **Kernel structures to userspace?** Nope. This patch isn't touching any of that.
2.  **Conditional logic with uninitialized variables?** Nope. The variables here are all initialized before use.
3.  **Complex data structure allocation/initialization?** Not in this patch.
4.  **Bounds checks?** No changes to those either.

So, this is purely a cosmetic change, just replacing some `if/else` with a macro. We're not touching anything that could trigger a KMSAN alert.

Therefore, the `NeedsKMSAN` flag is definitely `false`. Time to `set-results`.
