From 6829e274a623187c24f7cfc0e3d35f25d087fcc5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marek Szyprowski Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2015 12:46:16 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: dma-mapping: always clear allocated buffers Buffers allocated by dma_alloc_coherent() are always zeroed on Alpha, ARM (32bit), MIPS, PowerPC, x86/x86_64 and probably other architectures. It turned out that some drivers rely on this 'feature'. Allocated buffer might be also exposed to userspace with dma_mmap() call, so clearing it is desired from security point of view to avoid exposing random memory to userspace. This patch unifies dma_alloc_coherent() behavior on ARM64 architecture with other implementations by unconditionally zeroing allocated buffer.
