Re: [PATCH v4 02/18] kasan: sw_tags: Support tag widths less than 8 bits

Hi, thanks for pointing it out :).

I'll cross compile for arm64 it with different KASAN settings and fix any such
errors. I did this a while ago and it went okay then, but there were so many
rebases in the meantime I must have missed something.

Kind regards
Maciej Wieczór-Retman
