From: Ackerley Tng <[email protected]> Move the folio initialization logic from kvm_gmem_get_pfn() into __kvm_gmem_get_pfn() to also zero pages if the page is to be used in kvm_gmem_populate().
With in-place conversion, the existing data in a guest_memfd page can be populated into guest memory through platform-specific ioctls. Without first zeroing the page obtained using __kvm_gmem_get_pfn(), it might contain uninitialized host memory, which would leak to the guest if the populate completes. guest_memfd pages are zeroed at most once in the page's entire lifetime with guest_memfd, and that is tracked using the uptodate flag. Zeroing the page in __kvm_gmem_get_pfn() is chosen over zeroing in kvm_gmem_get_folio() since other flows, such as a future write() syscall, can get a page, write to the page and then set page uptodate without zeroing. This aligns with the concept of zeroing before first use - the other place where zeroing happens is in kvm_gmem_fault_user_mapping(). Don't mark the page uptodate again after populating, since the page would already be marked uptodate before the post_populate() call.
