mm: krealloc: consider spare memory for __GFP_ZERO
commit 1a83a716ec233990e1fd5b6fbb1200ade63bf450 upstream.
As long as krealloc() is called with __GFP_ZERO consistently, starting
with the initial memory allocation, __GFP_ZERO should be fully honored.
However, if for an existing allocation krealloc() is called with a
decreased size, it is not ensured that the spare portion the allocation is
zeroed. Thus, if krealloc() is subsequently called with a larger size
again, __GFP_ZERO can't be fully honored, since we don't know the previous
size, but only the bucket size.
Example:
buf = kzalloc(64, GFP_KERNEL);
memset(buf, 0xff, 64);
buf = krealloc(buf, 48, GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO);
/* After this call the last 16 bytes are still 0xff. */
buf = krealloc(buf, 64, GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO);
Fix this, by explicitly setting spare memory to zero, when shrinking an
allocation with __GFP_ZERO flag set or init_on_alloc enabled.
