4.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ilya Matveychikov <matvejchikov@xxxxxxxxx> commit a91e0f680bcd9e10c253ae8b62462a38bd48f09f upstream. When using get_options() it's possible to specify a range of numbers, like 1-100500. The problem is that it doesn't track array size while calling internally to get_range() which iterates over the range and fills the memory with numbers.
