Linux kernel source tree
dd8c01e42f
Currently we just leave it uninitialised, which at first looks harmless,
however we also don't zero out the pfn array, and with pfn_flags_mask
the idea is to be able set individual flags for a given range of pfn or
completely ignore them, outside of default_flags. So here we end up with
pfn[i] & pfn_flags_mask, and if both are uninitialised we might get back
an unexpected flags value, like asking for read only with default_flags,
but getting back write on top, leading to potentially bogus behaviour.
To fix this ensure we zero the pfn_flags_mask, such that hmm only
considers the default_flags and not also the initial pfn[i] value.
v2 (Thomas):
- Prefer proper initializer.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
