      dm flakey: don't corrupt the zero page · f50714b5
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      When we need to zero some range on a block device, the function
      __blkdev_issue_zero_pages submits a write bio with the bio vector pointing
      to the zero page. If we use dm-flakey with corrupt bio writes option, it
      will corrupt the content of the zero page which results in crashes of
      various userspace programs. Glibc assumes that memory returned by mmap is
      zeroed and it uses it for calloc implementation; if the newly mapped
      memory is not zeroed, calloc will return non-zeroed memory.
      
      Fix this bug by testing if the page is equal to ZERO_PAGE(0) and
      avoiding the corruption in this case.
