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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
