We now have devm_krealloc() in the kernel Use it indstead of calling
kfree() and kcalloc() separately.

Which is completely lawful when size > previous_size (I mean, the
additional patch you sent previously seems not related to this).

I think you need to use something from overflow.h instead of explicit
multiplication here.

Sure but devm_krealloc() is cleaner and adds the benefit of resource management.

Or maybe add devm_krealloc_array() which would perform the checks
behind the scenes?

I meant devm_krealloc(). It should work in this case without your
additional "fix" patch.

Maybe. But what to do in the cases when you have struct with flexible
arrays, like
struct foo {
...
 type bar[];
};

?

And you do kzalloc(sizeof(foo)) followed by krealloc(). The above name
(krealloc_array) may be a bit ambiguous.

I know, this is why I sent the fix separately. The fix is still
correct on its own.

Just use regular devm_krealloc() with struct_size()?

But devm_krealloc_array() would only be useful for memory allocated by
kmalloc_array() or kcalloc(). I don't see what's your point.

My point is it's not needed. At all.
It will actually make a regression. But this is for discussion in that thread.

Naming ambiguity.
Here I'm not against it. If you think it's a good idea, go for it!
