[PATCH v3] drm/gpusvm: Zero HMM PFNs before scanning ranges

From: Stanislav Kinsburskii

Date: Thu Jul 23 2026 - 13:53:25 EST


drm_gpusvm_check_pages() asks HMM to report the current CPU page-table
state without faulting missing entries by leaving default_flags set to
zero. The HMM PFN array is still caller-owned input/output state, and the
framework may preserve input bits while filling entries. It is not safe for
the caller to hand HMM an uninitialized array and then treat entries
without HMM_PFN_VALID as an authoritative unpopulated result.

Use kvcalloc() for the temporary PFN array so entries that are not reported
as valid start from the documented zero state. This prevents random stack
or heap contents from being interpreted as HMM PFN flags or PFN values
during the scan.
