[dm-devel] [PATCH] dm: fix dm_revalidate_zones() memory allocation

[Damien Le Moal]

Make sure that the zone write pointer offset array is allocated with a
vmalloc in dm_zone_revalidate_cb() by passing GFP_KERNEL gfp flag to
kvcalloc(). However, since we do not want to trigger IOs while
revalidating zones, change dm_revalidate_zones() to have the zone scan
done in GFP_NOIO context using memalloc_noio_save/restore calls.
