kvmalloc_array + __GFP_ZERO is the same with kvcalloc.
As for p->chunks, it will be used in:
```
if (ib_chunk->kdata)
memcpy(parser->ib.ptr, ib_chunk->kdata, ib_chunk->length_dw * 4);
```
If chunks doesn't zero out with __GFP_ZERO, it may point to somewhere else, e.g.,
```
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000000000010000
...
pc is at memcpy+0x84/0x250
ra is at radeon_cs_ioctl+0x368/0xb90 [radeon]
```
after allocating chunks with __GFP_KERNEL/kvcalloc, this bug is fixed.

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.
