Is this OK?

Or should be

 	for (i = 0; i < PAGES_PER_PACKET; i++) {
-		pkt->pages[i] = alloc_page(GFP_KERNEL);
+		pkt->pages[i] = alloc_page(GFP_KERNEL| __GFP_ZERO);

It definitely should be the latter.

Correct. Please submit the patch. I see a patch that fixes a pktcdvd.c
issue in Andrews tree so it was likely already fixed without me hearing of
it.
