Add a check to validate that buffers allocated from the heaps are properly zeroed before being given to userland. It is done by allocating a number of buffers, and filling them with a nonzero pattern, then closing and reallocating more buffers and checking that they are all properly zeroed. This is helpful to validate any cached buffers are zeroed before being given back out.

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.
