commit5a2a6c4281upstream. 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.
