From a670468f5e0b5fad4db6e4d195f15915dc2a35c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morton Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2018 21:53:06 -0700 Subject: mm: zero out the vma in vma_init() Rather than in vm_area_alloc(). To ensure that the various oddball stack-based vmas are in a good state. Some of the callers were zeroing them out, others were not. Acked-by: Kirill A.
