The nvme_execute_identify_ns_nvm function uses ZERO_PAGE for copying
SG list with all zeros. As ZERO_PAGE would not necessarily return the
virtual-address of the zero page, we need to first convert the page
address to kernel virtual-address and then use it as source address
for copying the data to SG list with all zeros. Using return address
of ZERO_PAGE(0) as source address for copying data to SG list would
fill the target buffer with random/garbage value and causes the
undesired side effect.
As other identify implemenations uses kzalloc for allocating a zero
filled buffer, we decided use kzalloc for allocating a zero filled
buffer in nvme_execute_identify_ns_nvm function and then use this
buffer for copying all zeros to SG list buffers. So esentially, we
now avoid using ZERO_PAGE.

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 reStructuredText 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.
