Christoph Hellwig cf6b45ea7a block: initialize integrity buffer to zero before writing it to media 
[ Upstream commit 899ee2c382 ]

Metadata added by bio_integrity_prep is using plain kmalloc, which leads
to random kernel memory being written media.  For PI metadata this is
limited to the app tag that isn't used by kernel generated metadata,
but for non-PI metadata the entire buffer leaks kernel memory.

Fix this by adding the __GFP_ZERO flag to allocations for writes.

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.
