[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] contigmem: zero all pages during mmap

[Jim Harris <james.r.harris@intel.com>]

On Linux, all huge pages are zeroed by the kernel before
first access by the DPDK application.  But on FreeBSD,
the contigmem driver would only zero the contiguous
memory regions during initial driver load.

DPDK commit b78c91751 eliminated the explicit memset()
operation for rte_zmalloc(), which was OK on Linux
because the kernel zeroes the pages during app start,
but this broke FreeBSD.  So this patch explicitly
zeroes the pages before they are mmap'd, to ensure
equivalent behavior to Linux

Fixes: b78c9175118f ("mem: do not zero out memory on zmalloc")
