[PATCH] mm/shmem: Zero out unused vma fields in shmem_pseudo_vma_init()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



shmem/tmpfs uses pseudo vma to allocate page with correct NUMA policy.

The pseudo vma doesn't have vm_page_prot set. We are going to encode
encryption KeyID in vm_page_prot. Having garbage there causes problems.

Zero out all unused fields in the pseudo vma.
