[PATCH 6.12 034/164] dm: always update the array size in realloc_argv on success

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

6.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Benjamin Marzinski <bmarzins@redhat.com>

commit 5a2a6c428190f945c5cbf5791f72dbea83e97f66 upstream.

realloc_argv() was only updating the array size if it was called with
old_argv already allocated. The first time it was called to create an
argv array, it would allocate the array but return the array size as
zero. dm_split_args() would think that it couldn't store any arguments
in the array and would call realloc_argv() again, causing it to
reallocate the initial slots (this time using GPF_KERNEL) and finally
return a size. Aside from being wasteful, this could cause deadlocks on
targets that need to process messages without starting new IO. Instead,
realloc_argv should always update the allocated array size on success.

Fixes: a0651926553c ("dm table: don't copy from a NULL pointer in realloc_argv()")
