[RFC, PATCH 10/22] mm/shmem: Zero out unused vma fields in shmem_pseudo_vma_init()

From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Mon Mar 05 2018 - 11:30:20 EST


shmem/tmpfs uses pseudo vma to allocate page with correct NUMA policy.

The pseudo vma doesn't have vm_page_prot set. We are going to encode
encryption KeyID in vm_page_prot. Having garbage there causes problems.

Zero out all unused fields in the pseudo vma.
