David Hildenbrand 862b6dee20 mm/page_alloc: clear all pages in post_alloc_hook() with init_on_alloc=1 
commit 6471384af2 ("mm: security: introduce init_on_alloc=1 and
init_on_free=1 boot options") resulted with init_on_alloc=1 in all pages
leaving the buddy via alloc_pages() and friends to be
initialized/cleared/zeroed on allocation.

However, the same logic is currently not applied to alloc_contig_pages():
allocated pages leaving the buddy aren't cleared with init_on_alloc=1 and
init_on_free=0.  Let's also properly clear pages on that allocation path.

To achieve that, let's move clearing into post_alloc_hook().  This will
not only affect alloc_contig_pages() allocations but also any pages used
as migration target in compaction code via compaction_alloc().

While this sounds sub-optimal, it's the very same handling as when
allocating migration targets via alloc_migration_target() - pages will get
properly cleared with init_on_free=1.  In case we ever want to optimize
migration in that regard, we should tackle all such migration users - if
we believe migration code can be fully trusted.

With this change, we will see double clearing of pages in some cases.  One
example are gigantic pages (either allocated via CMA, or allocated
dynamically via alloc_contig_pages()) - which is the right thing to do
(and to be optimized outside of the buddy in the callers) as discussed in:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201019182853.7467-1-gpiccoli@canonical.com

This change implies that with init_on_alloc=1

 - All CMA allocations will be cleared

 - Gigantic pages allocated via alloc_contig_pages() will be cleared

 - virtio-mem memory to be unplugged will be cleared. While this is
   suboptimal, it's similar to memory balloon drivers handling, where
   all pages to be inflated will get cleared as well.

 - Pages isolated for compaction will be cleared

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
