True, but if it overruns a buffer, it still needs to maintain a valid SCSI/ATAPI/whatever command packet format and submit the packet to the controller with repeatedly increasing block numbers - that's a lot of instructions, while something that clears the entire address space could probably be done in 1-2 assembly instructions (mov rcx, -1; rep stosq) |
