Subject[PATCH v1] mm/page_alloc: clear pages in alloc_contig_pages() with init_on_alloc=1 or __GFP_ZERO
Date
commit 6471384af2a6 ("mm: security: introduce init_on_alloc=1 and
init_on_free=1 boot options") resulted with init_on_alloc=1 in all pages
leaving the buddy via alloc_pages() and friends to be
initialized/cleared/zeroed on allocation.

However, the same logic is currently not applied to
alloc_contig_pages(): allocated pages leaving the buddy aren't cleared
with init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=0. Let's also properly clear
pages on that allocation path and add support for __GFP_ZERO.

With this change, we will see double clearing of pages in some
cases. One example are gigantic pages (either allocated via CMA, or
allocated dynamically via alloc_contig_pages()) - which is the right
thing to do (and to be optimized outside of the buddy in the callers) as
discussed in:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201019182853.7467-1-gpiccoli@canonical.com

This change implies that with init_on_alloc=1
- All CMA allocations will be cleared
- Gigantic pages allocated via alloc_contig_pages() will be cleared
- virtio-mem memory to be unplugged will be cleared. While this is
suboptimal, it's similar to memory balloon drivers handling, where
all pages to be inflated will get cleared as well.
