The current zone revalidation code has a major problem in that it doesn't update the zone size and q->nr_zones atomically, leading to a short window where an out of bounds access to the zone arrays is possible. To fix this move the setting of the zone size into the crticial sections blk_revalidate_disk_zones so that it gets updated together with the zone bitmaps and q->nr_zones. This also slightly simplifies the caller as it deducts the zone size from the report_zones. This change also allows to check for a power of two zone size in generic code.

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.
