No, if the memory-mapped page you're accessing is in RAM, then you're just reading the RAM; there is no page fault and no syscall and nothing blocks. You could say that any non-register memory access "blocks" but I feel

It will at the very least notice that the read data does not match the stored checksum and not return the garbage data to the application. In redundant (raidz) setups it will then read the data from another disk, and update the faulty disk.

If I build an unsafe boiler, and gift it to you, and then it explodes and kills you - am I not liable because it was a gift and not a sale? Can I disclaim away any liability and "fitness for purpose" when I gift you the boiler? ET

Governments that issue patents on math/algorithms/software already claim the power to forbid you to use them. They just need to patent all public encryption algorithms, in perpetuity. (Sarcastic? Who knows?)
