This will work. Any preference on the name of this function?
I called it in my current iteration mte_enable(), and calling it from
cpu_enable_mte().

Alternatively we can rename mte_init_tags() to something else and let
it handle both RRND and sync/async.
This is an option but then you need to change the name of kasan_init_tags and
the init_tags indirection name as well. I would go for the simpler and just
splitting the function as per above.

What do you think?
OK, let's split. mte_enable() as a name sounds good to me. Both
functions will still be called one right after another from
kasan_init_hw_tags (as it's now called) though. I think the name
works, as it means initializing the hw_tags mode, not just the tags.
I agree. When you finish with v9, could you please provide a tree with both the
sets on top similar to [1]? I would like to repeat the tests (ltp + kselftests)
and even to rebase my async code on top of it since we are aligning with the
development.

Sure, will share the trees, probably later today.
