Why flags field is not set? If vb is allocated by kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL)
and is nowhere zero-cleared, KASAN would complain it.
Could you point where in the code that would complain it?
I only see two shrinker flags (NUMA_AWARE and MEMCG_AWARE), and
they seem not related to that.

Where is vb->shrinker.flags initialized?
Is that mandatory to be initialized? I find it's not initialized in most shrinkers (e.g. zs_register_shrinker, huge_zero_page_shrinker).

Best,
Wei
