The patch titled
Subject: mm: zero hash tables in allocator
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-zeroing-hash-tables-in-allocator.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Pavel Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@oracle.com>
Subject: mm: zero hash tables in allocator
Add a new flag HASH_ZERO which when provided grantees that the hash table
that is returned by alloc_large_system_hash() is zeroed. In most cases
that is what is needed by the caller. Use page level allocator's
__GFP_ZERO flags to zero the memory. It is using memset() which is
efficient method to zero memory and is optimized for most platforms.
