Hi Will,

What do you mean by explicit memset()? We can't simply memset() from
start to end without doing the page table walk, because at the time
kasan is calling vmemmap_populate() we have a tmp_pg_dir instead of
swapper_pg_dir.

We could do the explicit memset() after
cpu_replace_ttbr1(lm_alias(swapper_pg_dir)); but again, this was in
one of my previous implementations, and I was asked to replace that.
