Subject: zsmalloc: zero-initialize zspage memory to prevent KMSAN uninit reads
Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 03:06:58 +0530

Pages allocated via alloc_zpdesc() use alloc_pages_node() without
__GFP_ZERO, leaving physical memory uninitialized.  When a compressed
object spans two physical pages in a zspage, zs_obj_read_sg_begin() sets
up a scatterlist pointing directly at the raw second page.  If the second
page was freshly allocated and never written beyond the object boundary,
KMSAN detects reads of uninitialized memory downstream in the decompressor
(e.g.  sw842_decompress reading the CRC trailer).

Fix this by passing __GFP_ZERO to alloc_zpdesc() in alloc_zspage() so
all pages backing a zspage are zero-initialized at allocation time.
