Re: [PATCH] mm/memfd: clear hugetlb pages on allocation

[Deepanshu Kartikey]

Hi Hugh,

Thank you for the quick review and for looping in the hugetlb maintainers!

You raise good points about the approach. I chose explicit zeroing in
memfd_alloc_folio() because hugetlb_reserve_pages() can allocate pages
without seeing the __GFP_ZERO flag, but I'm happy to revise if the
hugetlb maintainers prefer a different approach.

I'll add the Fixes: 89c1905d9c14 tag and Cc: stable in v2.

Should I send v2 now with just the tag added, or wait for feedback from
Muchun/Oscar/David on the overall approach first?

Thanks,
Deepanshu
