4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Shankara Pailoor <shankarapailoor@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 92d34134193e5b129dc24f8d79cb9196626e8d7a upstream.
The code is assuming the buffer is max_size length, but we weren't
allocating enough space for it.
