 Note that it is possible to get back a valid pointer for an element which
 has never been stored in the array.  Memory for array elements is allocated
 one page at a time; a single allocation could provide memory for several
-adjacent elements.  The flexible array code does not know if a specific
-element has been written; it only knows if the associated memory is
-present.  So a flex_array_get() call on an element which was never stored
-in the array has the potential to return a pointer to random data.  If the
-caller does not have a separate way to know which elements were actually
-stored, it might be wise, at least, to add GFP_ZERO to the flags argument

+adjacent elements.  Flexible array elements are normally initialized to the
+value FLEX_ARRAY_FREE (defined as 0x6c in <linux/poison.h>), so errors
+involving that number probably result from use of unstored array entries.

+initialized to zero and this poisoning will not happen.

+Individual elements in the array can be cleared with:

+This function will set the given element to FLEX_ARRAY_FREE and return
+zero.  If storage for the indicated element is not allocated for the array,
+flex_array_clear() will return -EINVAL instead.  Note that clearing an
+element does not release the storage associated with it; to reduce the
+allocated size of an array, call:
+
+    int flex_array_shrink(struct flex_array *array);
+
+The return value will be the number of pages of memory actually freed.
+This function works by scanning the array for pages containing nothing but
+FLEX_ARRAY_FREE bytes, so (1) it can be expensive, and (2) it will not work
+if the array's pages are allocated with __GFP_ZERO.
