Subject: [PATCH] mm/shmem: Zero out unused vma fields in shmem_pseudo_vma_init()
Date: Thu, 31 May 2018 16:56:02 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180531135602.20321-1-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com> (raw)

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.
