[PATCH v3 2/3] mm/slub: only zero the requested size of buffer for kzalloc

Feng Tang
2022-07-27T07:11:04Z

kzalloc/kmalloc will round up the request size to a fixed size
(mostly power of 2), so the allocated memory could be more than
requested. Currently kzalloc family APIs will zero all the
allocated memory.

To detect out-of-bound usage of the extra allocated memory, only
zero the requested part, so that sanity check could be added to
the extra space later.

For kzalloc users who will call ksize() later and utilize this
extra space, please be aware that the space is not zeroed any
more.
