Hello stable kernel maintainers,

Please backport patch 327ea4adcfa3 ("blkdev_report_zones_ioctl(): Use vmalloc() to allocate large buffers") to at least the v4.17.x and v4.14.y stable kernel series. That patch fixes a bug introduced in kernel v4.10. The entire patch is shown below.

It's already in my queue to apply, and I normally wait until after it shows up in a -rc release before queueing it up.

But I'll go do so now, thanks.
