From bbe9504c3a9f7cea3cd6d2660142d9b9bd5821f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicholas Bellinger Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2014 20:59:52 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] target: Explicitly clear ramdisk_mcp backend pages Part of commit 4442dc8a92b8f9ad8ee9e7f8438f4c04c03a22dc upstream. This patch changes rd_allocate_sgl_table() to explicitly clear ramdisk_mcp backend memory pages by passing __GFP_ZERO into alloc_pages(). This addresses a potential security issue where reading from a ramdisk_mcp could return sensitive information, and follows what >= v3.15 does to explicitly clear ramdisk_mcp memory at backend device initialization time.
